The electric sword is a type of weapon that appears in NetHack: The Next Generation and SlashTHEM. It uses the long sword skill, and is made of iron; despite its name, it does not deal shock damage.
Shocker is an artifact weapon in both variants that uses the electric sword as its base item.
Generation
Geeks in NetHack: The Next Generation and Hackers in SlashTHEM start the game with a +1 blessed electric sword.
Description
The electric sword has +2 to-hit and high damage against small and large monsters that eclipses even the katana.
In SlashTHEM, an electric sword has a 1⁄10 chance of "sparking to life" and dealing an extra d3 of damage against monsters without shock resistance.
Strategy
The electric sword is a stellar weapon for roles capable of using long swords, but is incredibly rare to find outside of playing as a Geek or possibly encountering their bones. Any role that finds an electric sword and opts to make it their main weapon should rustproof it as soon as possible.
