In ''Gaiden'', it functions identically to the [[Devil Sword]] of other games, having a chance to backfire and inflict damage upon its wielder based upon the wielder's [[Luck]]. This effect only applies to player units, enemy units have no chance to be damaged by the backfire damage. In ''Gaiden'' [[Dread Fighter]]s are also immune to the backfire chance, be they enemy or ally.<ref>{{Cite web| quote=Note 2: Enemies and {{hover|Demon Fighters|Serenes forest name for the Dread Fighter class}} are immune to backfire | author=VincentASM | published= 2005 | retrieved =March, 14th, 2016 | url=http://serenesforest.net/gaiden/other/calculations/ | title=Calculations | site=Serenesforest.net}}</ref>

In ''Thracia 776'', it is a cursed blade forced upon [[Mareeta]] by [[Raydrik]] and [[Veld]], forcing her to fight against her adoptive mother [[Eyvel]]; later, it is purified by [[Saias]], freeing Mareeta and transforming the blade into [[Mareeta's Sword]].
