This longsword has three parallel blades. Whilst harder to swing than a traditional longsword, the wounds it causes are more grievous. In addition, each blade is fixed in the hilt under a chamber of magically compressed air. A quick press of a button in the hilt causes a blade to be released at high speed. Upon depressing the button, the blades return to the hilt.
