(MAT 40; 5 MP) Lightning sword of Indra Tyrfing -30 Cut - - This sword is strange. It seems to do no elemental damage whatsoever, although it causes the green flash animation of a Dark elemental weapon. (Saturn players will notice that the Spectres will absorb hits from the Tyrfing. Spectres absorb Hit, Cut, Dark and Curse elemental attacks. However, using the Tyrfing against other enemies with weaknesses or strengths against these attacks will show that it does none of these kinds of damages. Stranger and stranger...)

(MAT 200) Legendary Masamune katana [2] Muramasa Variant Curse Curse - Puts Alucard into a permanent state of Dark Metamorphosis. - Attack power increases as Alucard absorbs blood with Muramasa equipped. I'm not sure of the exact formula for how the Muramasa's ATT increases, but I do know that as its ATT increases, the number of absorptions necessary to further strengthen the Muramasa increases. I believe the formula is (2*Muramasa's current ATT) + 12. - In other words, absorb twice for an ATT of -4, four additional times for -3, six additional times for -2, etc. - Animation and range change when Muramasa can do more than 30 damage (taking into account its natural power as well as STR and ATT bonuses from potions, Rings of Varda, or other similar accessories). - On rare occasions, the Muramasa will hit with Alucard's unarmed ATT. - Glitch? At high ATT values, the Muramasa seems not to gain a point of attack power when it should, and instead gets a +2 bonus down the road.
