[@Wraithblade6]: I understand it's only temporary, but being heated to near molten and having the hilt burst into flames would destroy any sword.

To be honest since it's Youkai-forged I don't think it's possible to destroy it anyway, but it certainly came off like that's what you were suggesting.

I think having an attack that will always hit no matter what to deprive someone of their ability to fight is a bad idea in general.
