If a blade is "baading," with a long "A" then that means that it's been poisoned.

My friend knows a local blade smith that she was going to be visiting anyway in the near future, and she'll see if her friend has any more info.

That's really interesting! Thanks for that info bit Leif. I wouldn't want to be hit with a panabas, a poisoned one seems even worse!
