"The warriors of the early 21st Century were known to charge into battle wildly swinging flails while holding their swords by the blade. This is because these warriors trained for years to toughen their hands in order to resist the cutting edges. They were also commonly accompanied by fierce, trained beasts called 'Pokee Monsters,' who would attack enemies with lightning or fire on command of the warrior. Sadly, these noble creatures seem to be extinct in our enlightened age."

A cool way to design this would be if the ball of the flail was the pommel, and you had some sort of contraption that released the flail when you wanted to switch to half-swording and just bludgeon a guy with it, since at that point you'd just have a flail with a bad handle. You'd normally use the sword, a normal sword with just a bigger pommel, and when some dude in armor shows up, you activate it, ball drops with chain, grab it by the blade and it's brutalizing time.

Seeing that illustration got me thinking about some lore behind this "weapon": Legend has it that the Cursed Blade of Deimos was designed and wielded by the Dread Lord Sados Masochisus as the ultimate weapon, at least in his twisted mind (and possibly to satisfy the whims of, and as tribute towards, some foul malevolent demon whom inhabited and corrupted his mind). It is said that only a chosen few (if any) could successfully harness its malevolent power without succumbing to its curse, of which many unworthy souls have fallen victim to. Alas, poor Masochisus was the 1st among these unworthy souls. Another legend has it that Sir Pragmaticus the Clever stumbled upon this cursed weapon lying in some desperate peddler's possession, and sensed its cursed power. However, instead of turning it down like so many before him, he purchased the dreaded blade off of the poor peddler's hands as a gift to use in a duel against his rival, Sir Boasterius the Foolish, defeating him by tricking him into accepting this weapon as a gift, and daring him to best him in one-on-one combat using the weapon (which, of course, lead to Sir Boasterius's unfortunate demise). Afterwards, when Sir Pragmaticus's personal executioner lost his old executioner's sword, the clever Pragmaticus came up with a new way of executing his prisoners and condemned criminals: by forcing them to attempt to use the cursed blade to defeat his/her opponent in a fight to the death. By the way, and this is a quick, but serious question: Could you possibly throw such a cursed weapon without hurting yourself in the process?

ShadowWolfTJC welp , there are some weapons that are intended to hurt whoever holds it because it would prove the person holding it is strong enough to do that despite hurting themselves in the process , while it does sound stupid is mostly to prevent any retard of holding such dangerous weapon in first place , ouryken in digimon per example literally kills you if you aren't strong enough to even hold the power within the blade
