I have always liked the idea of Spellblades- channeling magic into a weapon. So I designed a sword and dagger combo, specifically for my character Talin Koravin, that involved a bare-metal segment of the handle dedicated towards conducting the magical energies. The swords have mithril-plated blades over a steel core. Possibly my favorite weapons I've ever designed.
