This weapon will have two ratings, but it'll be different from the usual format I have. The ratings are depending of if you have the weapon or not, since this is a no-trade weapon that was gotten from a past plot. The final rating will be an average of those two. Also, since this weapon and Sword of Malum are identical, both will receive the same review.
If you have it:
Price (3/3): It didn't cost a single neopoint to get, and you only had to get it late into the event. as such there's no way I can't give this a perfect rating
Power (4/5): It does between 17 and 22 icons spread between 4 types, at least 2 of which are easy to block, but what matters is the amount. It's almost the same as an anagram sword, minus 2 max possible icons. In 1p it doesn't matter, this is basically a free anagram sword. In 2p this become less useful, being able to have partially blocked. Faerie Tabard and Ghostkershield bring it down to 8 to 9 icons, while Hubrid Nox Memorial Shield brings it down to 6 to 7 icons, but even then, most of the blocking icons of those shields are used up by this weapon while it still sends some through, so I can't really take many points off it.
Uniqueness(1/2): A weapon like this is insane, dealing so many icons, and being handed so easily through an even, and the no-trade makes sure that unless you got it when the event happened, you won't be able to get it ever. It doesn't have a max rating here because the same event gave away its twin, Sword of Malum.

Overall this is the best weapon (along with its twin) that was available from that event, and it gave many users the option to attack with anagram sword level of icons at no cost. Let's hope this doesn't happen often or icon inflation will just get worse, but at least the no-trade status will help somewhat with it. For that it gets a 8/10

If you don't already own it:
Price (0/3): It's no trade, so it has no price and you're not able to get it in any way.
Power (0/5): Since you're not able to get it, you can't really equip it or do any damage with it.
Uniqueness (2/2): A strong no trade weapon like this is unheard of, and if you don't own this, you most likely down own its twin Sword of Malum, so it's as unique as it gets.

Overall well, you can't get it, and you can't use it, but it's still a unique weapon that doesn't deserve a 0, and the fact that it's no trade helps to not perpetuate the issues with icon inflation. For that it gets a 2/10

Because of that, the Average review is 5/10. It's an amazing surprise from The Wraith Resurgence, but if you didn't get it back then sadly it means nothing, since you won't be able to use it. I hope you did, and if you didn't I wish you good luck next time a weapon like this is released.
