Fire sword

A fire sword is a 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.

According to the in-game book, Vetron's Guide to Weapons and Armour, fire swords are rated as having and effectiveness of 8, and in the Ultima VII Part Two clue book, they are listed as having a damage of 8 and a reach of 2. In Ultima IX flaming swords do approximately 45-55 per hit.

In the SNES Port of Ultima VII, the fire sword is ineffective against fire-aligned or elementally-invulnerable creatures, which includes: dragons, drakes, ghosts, scorpions, skeletons and stone harpies.
