Unfortunately, unless you're in a very cold climate as well, the wood will soak of the water from the condensation, swell, and continue to freeze until it is eventually just a bloated block of ice. However, if you put an activated frost sword in a metal scabbard, that's gonna get painful eventually. Acid will chew threw anything. Once again, wood is good for electricity, but metal most certainly is not, and absolutely nothing is good against a sonic weapon, as sonic energy deals full damage to all objects.I realize that what I posted is based on reality and that D&D is a fantasy setting, but that's what happens when someone asks "Why can't I put my Flaming Broadsword in my Obdurium scabbard without hurting myself?"I, as a DM, wouldn't say that. Magic items generally either stay activated until deactivated in the same method in which they are activated, or they automatically deactivate after a given amount of time. Since drawing a flaming weapon is not what activates it, sheathing it won't turn it off.</blockquote>
