- Has the Warped Sword powerstance heavy attack.
Notes
- Can be used as a staff. Using the strong attack will cast Sorceries. Can't cast Hexes, despite having base Dark damage.
- Enchanting Sorcerer's Twinblade with Magic Weapon/Great Magic Weapon/Crystal Magic Weapon increases its Magic damage, which also increases the damage of Sorceries cast with it.
- It uses more stamina to cast than other Spell Tools, probably due to casts counting as a "strong attack".
- Like all weapons in the left hand, stamina consumption is higher compared to swings on the right hand. However, unlike staves, the Sorcerer's Twinblade also loses damage on both swings and casts if wielded left-handed.
- The Sorcerer's Twinblade can be powerstanced, but strong attacking with the left weapon won't cast a spell, it will just use the powerstanced strong attack.
- Despite being classified as a 'twinblade' it is actually closer to being a Spell Tool as it can only be infused with Magic and Dark.
