I vaguely remember a weapon in an old text based multi-user dungeon (MUD). It was cursed: once picked up it couldn’t be put down. It was also very powerful, with only one downside: randomly you’d hit an ally in the same room instead of the enemy. Reminds me of a lot of things in the world. It was also just at the right level that you’d be getting self-confident and even a bit cocky, but not experienced enough to recognise such an obvious trap. Of course, I dual-wielded two of them like a maniac to the dismay of my party. I only killed a few allies! An accident, I swear. Not my fault.
