Sorry, I've been a bit cranky over a lot of silly posts recently. On
a practical side I should have pointed out that such a sword would set
off every sprinkler system it came across. In other words, flaming swords
aren't very practical on shadowruns.

An abstraction of such a sword could be made simply by stacking
foci. Trying to get anything closer just adds more drawbacks then its
worth. I wouldn't agree that anything can be directly ported over. Magic
items just don't work that way in Shadowrun.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
