== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
'''Sword''' is typically one of the first combat skills a new player finds, along with [[Unarmed]]. Predictably, it requires a sword to be equipped in your main hand. Sword focuses on damage and rage reduction, with a side of armor shred. A well-geared swordsman can completely block a monster from using Rage attacks!
 
[[Calligraphy]] serves as the secondary skill for Sword, and provides various sword combos and special insights.
 
=== In-Game Description ===
Expertise with swords, rapiers, and the like. Swords are very damaging, and can reduce an opponent's Rage.

Every time you level Calligraphy, causing you will learn a new recipe. Performing these recipes will give you a combo: if you execute that combo, it will have some extra effect. For example, the first recipe is "Pain: If you execute SwordSlash + SwordSlash + ManyCuts in that order, the final step deals 5 extra damage." Some recipes have passive insights that will be applied for the target to bleedduration - Pain+ increases all your Direct Slashing damage by 1. : The duration of Calligraphy effects can be extended by performing them on Calligraphy Benches, learned through [[Carpentry]].
