Fire sword

Fighters mistrust magic in general, so much knows everyone. However, they make an exception when it comes to weapons, enchanted to do much more damage than normal. Weapons such as the Fire Sword. This sword, whose blade glows yellow-hot and puts out fire as if burning, is far superior to normal swords. But of course, using it against being like Dragons, whose element is fire, is pretty useless. A bonus for everyone who owns such a sword is, that it doubles for a torch, being a never-depleting lightsource.

Fire Swords are quite common to find in Ultima VII. For example one can be found in dungeon Shame at 5S 24W. Another one is found in the armoury of Serpent's Hold at 157S 53E. A third lies in a chest southwest of Trinsic at 128S 3W.

According to Vetron's Guide to Weapons and Armour, the Fire Sword has an effectiveness rating of 8.
