So far my sympathies are on swords side. it has outline, recognizable shape and just needs some repainting (styling it to be more KaM-like). Circles just look not that medieval.
In my vision it is a small icon and thin expanding circles below it to draw more attention to it for 1-3sec. Kind of like this with a logo in center:
.oO.oO.oO
What I think the downside of the sword icon is, is that it might be very recognizable and all that, but it's quite flashy. I get that that draws attention, but it looks a bit too much. It doesn't have to draw that much attention, since it'd be recognizable enough when you see it changing color with a black outlining, and maybe a sound under it (like the horn that plays when you get a message.
Expanding circles would be okay, too. Maybe the sword with an expanding circle in the background. But flashing swords look a bit too flashy.
