If you had a magic sword

[Piratecat]

Woundhealer, from Saberhagen's Book of Swords. I don't have much call to stab people unless I'm driving in Boston traffic, but a sword that healed instead of harmed? Sign me up.

My favorite scene in any fantasy novel involves this sword. The wielder, chased by a superior enemy and completely trapped, rides his warhorse off a many hundred foot tall cliff. He stabs himself on the way down. His bones shatter, instantly reknit, so he staggers to his feet and runs the sword through his still-quivering but not-dead warhorse. He then rides off, waving jauntily at his foe back up on the cliff.

Yup. I'll gladly take that, thanks.

Good ones. I'll have to stick with my choice, though. Portability, extendabilty, scrying, comes when called, and the capacity to summon Thundercats. Oh, and it doesn't mind being used as a common tool for...well, whatever, really.

Stormbringer, if only because "Arioch! Arioch! Blood and souls for my Lord Arioch!" is a much sweeter war cry than "By the power of Grayskull, I have THE POWER!".

And when I'm feeling a little low energy and don't have the pocket change for a chocolate bar...

That's where we disagree. Because my battle cry has ECHO-Echo-echo!

I'd choose Vultron's sword and then sell it on Ebay.

Boy...that would make for some pretty odd Snickers-style "You're not yourself when you're hungry" commercials! Imagine Betty White's eyes starting to glow as she bisects the entire huddle...or Aretha Franklin thrusting a blade through the guy next to her in the car!

"You're playing like Betty White out there!" *SLICE/DRINK SOUL* "That's not what your girlfriend says!"

That's where we disagree. Because my battle cry has ECHO-Echo-echo!

And it has the power to snip you that super-wicked bowl cut.

The bowl cut would be an improvement...

Coinspinner.

Then I could buy as many of the other ones as I want!

Would it be wrong for me to wish for a Cursed Berserking sword for the Administrative Assistant at my former employer? She would go crazy and kill all of those people that lied constantly, overworked me, underpaid me, did almost no work themselves and harassed me ten ways from Tuesday. Sure, she would survive and feel guilty, but that's okay. She wasn't a saint either.

Would that be so terrible?

...Until it disappeared, that is.

Any intelligent weapon that can talk and read, bonus points if it has limited telekinesis abilities (mage hand at will). I would compel it to run games for my group.

If it had prestidigitation at will, it could also help clean the house.
