There are three types of Swords: Rapiers (or One-Handed Thrusting Swords), One-Handed Swords and Two-Handed Swords. All types deal melee physical damage. Rapiers requires Dexterity and have "Increased Critical Strike Multiplier" as implicit mod. One-Handed and Two-Handed Swords requires Strength and Dexterity and have "Increased Accuracy Rating" as implicit mod.

Arming swords and sabres

Implicit Mod Explanation
Local modifiers only affect the item they appear on, for instance, Local Accuracy will only affect the sword it is on. It won't affect the damage on an off-hand weapon when dual-wielding, and won't increase physical damage granted from other items like rings.
