Trivia

• This weapon is considered as a joke weapon, based on the fact that the Copper Shortsword is one of the the weakest weapons in Vanilla.
• Comedically, it is also the most iconic weapon in Ancients Awakened, and is featured in the mod's icon.
• The projectile is able to hit enemies before the sword can, due to it being launched at the start of the animation.
• The debuff is not the On Fire! debuff because it deals 25 damage instead of 1, is not extinguished by water, and causes a quick series of 1 damage just before extinguishing.
• The sword itself does not cause the debuff.
