A fan ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimfound an Elven sword with a pretty much useless enchantment.Skyrimfeatures a robust combat systemthat allows gamers to wield a wide variety of weapons and spells. Magic users can utilize spells from the various schools of magic inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, while fans of melee and ranged combat also have plenty of options.

Each weapon has its own skill tree, allowing gamers to specialize in the various types ofarmaments available inSkyrim. As an example, users wanting to play with one-handed swords can unlock perks that increase weapon damage, cause a bleeding effect, and ignore the opponent’s armor, among others. Many ofSkyrim’s weapons can also be enchanted with special effects, but one fan recently came across a sword with an unbelievably useless passive bonus.

A Reddit user named Metaru_sama has shared an image of an Elven Sword of Lingering Fire they found inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Judging by its design, the sword looks like it could do a ton of damage to the various enemies in the game, but it has a crucial flaw. The sword comes with an enchantment that states that targets burn for 0 points of damage per second until the combat encounter ends. So, players will be doing just 7 damage per strike with this Elven Sword of Lingering Fire inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Many users in the comments section joke about the sword being warm and dull instead of dealing asubstantial amount of fire damage inSkyrim, with one claiming that it’s only useful for its cosmetic appeal. Some gamers also talk about the base damage being too weak on its own, so this enchantment feels like a scam. Another player goes on to describe an even worse sword that would deal 7 points of damage, but heal the opponent for 8 on every hit, allowing the target to regain 1 health on every strike.

Aside from that, most of the players seem to be fixated on the UI used by Metaru_sama, with gamers asking about the mod utilized to make it appear so clean. According to one comment, the Reddit poster is using theSkyHUD mod inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, with another skin on top of it. However, a couple of users state that they are using a mod named Dear Diary that replacesSkyrim’s UI with a paper-like interface.
