    Try to stab something with this monstrosity and it’s guaranteed to get stuck between the ribs or in other bones, leaving you without a weapon.

    Historical swords aren’t spiky for a reason

      Yeah but people in ancient times also liked cool-looking but impractical “ceremonial” weapons. They didn’t go to war wielding them, but neither do modern people who think they look cool…

      It’s undoubtedly made of some kind of fantasy metal like mithril, orichalcum, or adamantium. So it weighs less than a pen and can cut through solid blocks of steel. It’s not getting stuck in anything let alone something like human bones.
