Fire sword

A fire sword is variety of enchanted weapon whose blade has been magically infused with the burning power of flame. Such swords appear in Ultima VII, Ultima VII Part Two and Ultima IX.

Description
In Britannia, fire swords glow with a yellowy red fire which may never be extinguished, and provides a warm light when held aloft, similar to a torch. Similar blades forged on Serpent Isle exist, although in keeping with the world's proclivity towards ice magic, they burn with a white blue flame typically of frost spells. Those wielding such weapons will find that they offer a searing cut - dealing far more damage than an ordinary sword - although they will often prove less than fully effective against beasts associated with elemental fire, such as dragons or daemons.
