-A '''silver long sword''' is a type of [[weapon]] found in [[SLASH'EM]]. It shares all properties with the ordinary [[long sword]], save that it is made of [[silver]]. It is therefore also inherently [[fooproof]], and its weight also increases by 8.

This means it can be used to dip for Excalibur, though doing so will change its material to iron.<!--Verify: Do any variants allow non-base-material artifacts?
