The sword's description states that it deals extra damage to those weak to ice, and the bonuses are calculated as thusly: no resistance=150% damage, 20% resistance=130% damage, 67% resistance=115%, and immunity=normal damage calculation. Though the precise bonus damage would be adjusted slightly for each subsequent game, this is the standard ability the blade has in all following appearances.
