** Stormbringer is the granddaddy of magical swords with the ability to absorb the souls of their enemies, including Blackrazor from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', the Black Sword from ''VideoGame/UltimaVII'', the Soul Reaver from ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'', Frostmourne from ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' and Craven Edge from ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', the countless Daemon Weapons of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' fame, which actually cleave even closer to the swords of Elric in that they too are demonic beings merely in the shapes of swords. Although some of these are less [[EvilWeapon dickish]] to their wielder compared to Stormbringer.
