Wooden Training Sword

The wooden training sword is a power level 2 one-handed melee weapon that can be crafted at a crafting table. The recipe is learned by consuming the an educational blade, found in a chest atop the eastern roof of the church in Temple Woods. It can be ascended at the mystic forge using ascension cores.

Unlike many other ascendable vestige and masterwork weapons and armour, this weapon does not have a special effect.

This means that when compared to other swords like the black sword or toktz-xil-ak, they will often be the better choices to ascend.

Journal

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

In the village of Bramblemead, children grew up knowing battle. The God Wars hadn't reached them yet, but the priests always knew that danger was coming. So children were taught combat in the form of a game.

Carpenters were encouraged to make little wooden swords so that the children could emulate the noble paladins who wandered the village. These soldiers were held up as role models. Young men and women daydreamed through school of taking up those glittering swords and running off into adventure.

These weapons clicked and clacked against one another, seemingly harmless to the adults that watched. But wood in Bramblemead was hardened and preserved by druidic magic, and the damage these swords could deal soom became clear. Injuries were common, bruises and broken bones were the rite of passage of every child.

It was fortunate, perhaps, that these weapons were so painful — because the children of Bramblemead grew up with a better understanding that war was no game.
