1-Sword Torch

This sword's only magical power is that it's blade glows with a green glow, but unlike most such 'glowing swords' by twisting the inner bit of the handle one way you can turn the glow off. By turning it the other way you can make it glow so brightly that you need sunglasses or the equivalent to look directly at it.

2-Warning Sword

The hilt of this sword goes slightly cold when a lie is told within fifteen feet of it, and very cold, almost dangerously so, when someone within fifteen feet of it is planning a violent attack on it's owner. It has no other known magic powers.

3-Parrying Sword

In stats terms, the classic +1 blade that most PCs have got their hands on at some type, as it makes parrying easier but has no such effect on thrusts or cuts. +1 in Defense, nothing in Attack. It was made by a blacksmith-mage who was secretly a bit of a pacifist and disliked being conscripted into the army and forced to work on weapons of war.


4-Were's Bane

Made by someone who lost his family to a werewolf attack, this magically sharpened silver sword does, in stats terms, double damage to all were creatures. With this the original owner set about a mission of revenge.


5-Elf's Bane

Made in the orcish style by Orc blacksmiths this is more of a cleaver then a sword, with orcish runes along the flats of the blade on both sides. Whilst nowhere near as powerful as Grond, Hammer of the Underworld it has bonuses against elven magic and glamour spells and does double damage in stats terms to elves and half-elves.

6-Excaliver

This fine longsword has many tales about it's magical powers but in fact has no magic in it at all. The king who had it made was a cheapskate who would not pay extra to have it enchanted. Despite his greed he was a very good warrior and stories about his enchanted sword soon spread. If someone firmly believes this sword is magic, it has a +1 combat bonus unless the owner finds out the truth in which case the combat bonus vanishes.


7-OrcsBane

A well-made mithril elvish longsword with gold leaf on the hilt that if in a real life fantasy film would be held by someone like Harry Styles, this blade does double damage to Orcs and fends off their dark magic. It was made as a counter-weapon to the Elf's Bane.
