Cautery sword

The cautery sword is a recurring sword in the Dragon Quest series. If used as a tool in battle in earlier games it would cast Sizz on a group of enemies; later games have kept the spitfire trait while changing the damage ranges.

EtymologyEdit

Cautery is derived from Cauterize, which is to burn an open wound, and stems from the firey nature of the sword.
