Enchanted Sword (item)

Enchanted Sword is a melee weapon found by breaking a background item (appears as the hilt of a sword protruding from rock) found at the cavern level. When used it will both perform a sword swing and fire a projectile at the current cursor location. Both the sword swing and the projectile do damage and generate light, making this a useful weapon for exploration. The Beam Sword seems to be a stronger version of this weapon.

There are 2 different background objects that look similar but only one of them will drop the sword.





Trivia

 * The sword may be a reference to The Legend of Zelda-A Link To The Past, as in this game the Master Sword could fire beams, was pulled from a pedestal, and there was even a series of fake swords en route to the real one.


 * The idea of a sword being stuck into stone is a reference to the story of The Sword and The Stone, in which King Arthur was the only person who was able to pull Excalibur from its resting place in a stone. Excalibur itself is also referenced in the game.
