Sterling silver is pretty much useles in weapons, even as a conductor. Doesn't hold an edge and is too heavy for swords, weight might make it decent for a bludgeon but anything bigger than a one handed club is going to be TOO heavy. Using it as the head on a larger weapon will fuck up the balance because it will be too heavy at the end and you risk overswinging good way to pull muscles or worse. I suppose if you were using a catlte prod like weapon it might work, or if you silver plate other weapons but at that point it's a secondary component at best. what about a silver tipped javelin? I actually throw javelin, and those are supposed to be heavier at the end, and don't need a razor sharp point to work. If the shaft is a capacitor, it could also store any lightning generated. Plus, you could just kinda point and shoot a lightning bolt. And silver is actually a really good cunductor, and is used in most electronic microchips for that reason. I'll just make it a collapsable, silver tipped javeline.
