A mercurial sword is a hypothetical type of sword seen within fiction.

[edit] Description

A mercurial sword has a hollow blade and a basin of mercury stored in its hilt. When swung, the mercury flows into the hollow inside of the blade. As mercury is extremely dense, this increases the weight of the blade during the swing, causing it to hit with more impact than a conventional sword.
