The weight of a sword has a major impact on its effectiveness as a weapon. One with virtually null weight would be ineffective; extremely easy to block and parry against since you don't have enough mass to break someone's guard or shove through their parry.

Lighter stabbing weapons and spears go for it no problem; but swords are tricky; especially don't use it for axes or hammers since their functionality is SUPER weight dependant.
