Yes and no. Nothing says the sword does that, but it is stated he is depowered after the fight at the mine. The Illuminati report says they put him in a general population asylum to pass off as a crazy person, nothing the player does can rob him of his power, and he is powerless to stop Cassandra King when she comes for the sword. As we seen in the Kingsmouth tunnles he clearly has base powers (If not his original third age tech powers) before the sword, yet after he can be passed off as a normal human in addition to being just generally weakened from the fight. He is depowered, yet the only change is that he lost the sword and this occurs instantly after the fight. I can not think of any factor outside the sword being lost that could achieve such a result. And keep in mind the game states many times that this is all third age technology, not magic.
