Key Sword
The Key Sword is a Rare weapon which costs one energy to use and deals 7 damage to one target. It's effect allows it to gain an extra +2 damage for any key placed adjacent or diagonal to the Key Sword, with a maxium 27 base damage achivable by completly surrounding the sword with keys taking up a total of 12 backpack slots.
Despite being a Rare item, the Key Sword is usually outclassed by other rare weapons, usually not making it worthwile to stock up keys to get it to a higher damage and avoiding opening locked doors which might be more benificial to the player. This sword also suffers from the same penalty other weapons with the same mechanics face e.g. Cursed Blade or Fish Sword; the space requirement is too large. If the player wanted the weapon to deal a high enough amount of damage to kill tougher enemies, they would have to sacrifice a lot of slots, which at the time of obtaining this weapon, they might not have to spare.
The Key Sword may also be used as a key, in most circumstances this would be a non-beneficial due to the fact that the Key Sword is a Rare item, making it better of in circumstances where rarity matters e.g. in shops or the trader event
