Tool's sword - His original sword and his later one were both two handed Imass stone swords, invested by Kilava to be unbreakable. Kilava's considerable power makes this more significant. The suggestion is made a few times that all Imass weapons are similarly invested, tho' we don't actually know if that's true. It was hinted that the knife and arrows Tool made for Toc were 'special'. If true, then any Imass weapon including Toc's, Stormy/Legana Breed's, Onrack's and so on might fit on this list... but i'm lazy so just take it as inferred...


All T'lan Imass weapons appear to at least be forged in Tellan fires, in the same way Bairoth Delum was.

Icarium's arrows - Made from the Jaghut tree's branches, each arrow has a warren carved into it. We're not really clear on what this means other than being shot by one would suck.


Her name is Aramala, to be precise, and they can apparently take down dragons.

Brukhalian's sword - Empowered by Fener, it can cut a Jaghut/Herald of Death in the face.


It burns with a black fire and exploded when Bruk died, killing more people.

We won't dwell on just who is standing around sniffing Teblor swords...


Well apparently Teblor blood-wine is a sell-able commodity, so sniffing Teblor swords is for people who can't afford the wine...

The Rope's rope - This is a tricky one. Technically the 'rope' we see in HoC is a shadowstuff construct, but Dancer likely used a rope as a weapon before he ever ascended, so it's here but it's sort of a shady entry, ditto his knives (heehee, see what i did there?).


He also uses a rope against Kyle in RotCG and Dassem slices it (with magic?)

Greymane's stone sword - appears to be linked to Burn in some way similar to Brood's hammer. Greymane can just 'summon' it from nowhere, tho' it's unclear if this is an ability of him or the sword.


You sure he summons it from nowhere, and not it just changes size to look like a normal longsword (that he is seen carrying around)?

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure Jagtree was Phyryllis, and Aramala was the Jaghut Karsa sheboinged after the whole 'watch me lift this rock' foreplay thing.

Yep. because he uses the longsword against Skinner and comment that he was tempted to the the stonesword but firgured it was a bad idea.

Ah yes, silly confusing Jaghut names. Good call on the sword (though I suppose he could've been tempted to shapeshift the sword into the Burn version??). Works for me either way.

What about Badalle and her illuminated crystal shard with the rag wrapped around it? It glows and it has a pointy end you stick into people...the main traits of a good magic weapon by my standards.

To quote..."She glanced down at her makeshift sword. It seemed unnaccountably bright, as if gathering all the light it could drink. Golden flames seemed to glitter in its heart. It was beautiful, yes, but there was something else here. Something of power....a terrible power. She remembered, from somewhere, tales about weapons, and those weapons were given names. Thus. She would name hers Fire."

Brayderal, a FA, seemed pretty worried about it anyway.

I'm on the fence about this. I mean, she calls it a sword, but really it's a pice of debris with a rag wrapped around it.

I suspect this is a RAFO to see if it goes anywhere listworthy.

- Abyss, would also be concerned if a starved cannibal little girl poet Mokra high mage starting running around with a pointy stick hunting him...

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
