Can anyone share when they first found out in KF 1 (US) that swords could cast spells?
I had the old big box version of the game, before Sony reverted to just using CD cases. And I know it wasn't mentioned in the manual at all. I liked to strafe and swing my sword while casting a spell to simultaneously attack, and to my surprise the spell that came out was not the one I was casting.
So I removed the spell from its slot and tried swinging again while pushing the, I think it was the triangle button. And it took me a few tries but I found out that some swords cast spells in KF1 US.
Even the moonlight sword has its own spell. You can actually get it by basically running and just pressing up to Guyra. Take a few hits and eventually you'll actually be knocked behind him and you can walk over and grab the sword. If you have a teleporter close enough you can just teleport away out of the fight. So I spent about 10 minutes running around with the moonlight sword swinging it and casting spells from it.
