That might just be a design to make the weapon look less plain, similar to how Myrtenaster, StormFlower, and Russel's daggers also have designs on them.

And wow, I would feel so much worse about my initial analysis of her weapon if I hadn't been at less than 50% mental capacity at the time (I was exhausted). I figured the glowing red lines in the blade were fire Dust or something, and I noticed that it has a trigger, but for some reason, I didn't register the trigger as being what releases the Dust for use, despite Myrtenaster having a trigger for the same purpose. Blehhh.
