Silver Sword

The Silver Sword is a weapon in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

About
The Silver Sword is a one-handed weapon almost exclusively found on members of the Silver Hand, who are frequently encountered on quests for the Companions. It is especially effective against the undead, making it very useful in dungeons. The item does not require charging, although it cannot be refined at a grindstone. When used against Undead such as Draugr, Skeletons, Dragon priests, Vampires, and re-animated corpses, the base damage of the weapon is increased by 20 points. Despite the description, Werewolves are affected as well.

Enchanting
The effectiveness against undead cannot be disenchanted from the weapon. This effect is an inherent ability of the silver material from which the weapon is crafted.

The Silver Sword, like other silver weapons, may be enchanted at an Arcane Enchanter in addition to the inherent enchantment. Fire damage makes for an especially useful enchantment to this weapon, as undead creatures are also highly susceptible to flame damage. The "Especially effective against undead" notation overrides the text for the additional enchantment, which will not display even though the enchantment is still applied.

Smithing
Silver weapons cannot be created nor improved at Grindstones.

Bugs
When putting two Silver Swords in the upstairs bedroom Weapon Rack in Proudspire Manor, the game will freeze. If you save immediately after putting them in, you can reload the save and find that you are holding an invisible Silver Sword. However, any equipped weapon will replace it, and therefore can not be equipped again.
