Well if it is magic it doesn’t matter if it functions as a regular sword. If people die on hit it can be a baseball bat for all I care

Try to stab something with this monstrosity and it’s guaranteed to get stuck between the ribs or in other bones, leaving you without a weapon.
Historical swords aren’t spiky for a reason
It’s undoubtedly made of some kind of fantasy metal like mithril, orichalcum, or adamantium. So it weighs less than a pen and can cut through solid blocks of steel. It’s not getting stuck in anything let alone something like human bones.
Hook sword
Cool as they are, we have very little evidence these were used historically or were actual combat weapons.
Umm…
Surviving sharpened examples point to actual use as weapons, but their rarity, and the training necessary to use them, strongly suggest that they were only rarely used as such.
That sounds like very little evidence to me. Literally doesn’t even have a citation.
On one hand, this does point out that there is at least some evidence suggesting they were actually used as weapons.
On the other hand, this also exemplifies exactly why they were so uncommon. Even if you could use them in combat, I imagine any benefit gained from the hook is drastically outweighed by the extra complications to fighting with it.
Well depends. If you don’t plan on stabbing a hook is great to get around shields. Make it a more choppy of slicing sword.
