[edit] Usage
Sword Mastery is one of the Barbarian weapon mastery skills. It is a passive skill, thus it is constantly in effect once learned. It improves the Barbarian's fighting skills when wielding a sword.
[edit] History
Although there are many gifts from the Great and Ancient King Bul-Kathos, the greatest of these is the secret of steel. Raw iron is hardened and made resilient, forged into weapons of honor and power. Most mortal swords are patterned after the blade first wielded by Bul-Kathos himself. Balancing offense with defense, it is the perfect weapon for the defense of Mount Arreat in the coming apocalypse. All Barbarian warriors learn the secrets of steel at an early age, yet few truly master the deadly elegance of the sword. Those few who do often disdain all other weapons.
