 The electric sword uses the [[long sword]] skill. As a member of that class it is a little better than the katana, with more damage to both [[Physical size|small and large]] targets, and a bigger [[to-hit]] bonus, but it is even rarer. It is made of [[iron]] and should be [[rustproof]]ed if you intend to keep it past the early game.

 Despite what its name might suggest, the electric sword does not deal [[shock]] damage. There is a neutral-aligned [[artifact]] electric sword, Shocker, which does deal an additional +1d3 damage against enemies that are not shock-resistant.
-Electric swords have a to-hit bonus (+[[d notation|d10]]) against [[Q|{{white|Q}}]], but since the only member of that [[monster class]] in NHTNG is the [[quantum mechanic]], this advantage is not especially useful there. The class-targeted to-hit bonus is a little more useful in the [[Slash'EM Extended]] and [[SLASHTHEM]] incarnations of the Geek role, where the Q class contains many more members.
