I'm not sure about changing this to a Dai-Katana. Sure it's two handed, but its appearance is much more like a longsword than a katana, plus the weapon id (longsword_umbra_unique) is a bit of a pointer. rpeh •TCE 16:14, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Well... Longswords are defined as being one-handed, so it does not belong there. The 1.35 speed makes it more consistant with a Dai-Katana than any other type of 2-handed sword --Brf 16:19, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
That's how we define them at the moment, but that can change - there's also the one-handed, two-handed categories that allow a more-precise categorisation to be made. The history of the dai-katana (in TES) is that they are made to resemble Akaviri weapons - something Umbra does not. I take the point about two-handedness, but I think this is a place where form matters more. rpeh •TCE 16:31, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
You have a point. The image does look more like a longsword too. Maybe there should be a blurb in there somewhere that "most" of the longswords are one-handed or that all of the non-unique ones are. --Brf 16:34, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Actually, we may as well just remove that category and leave it in Category:Morrowind-Weapons-Long Blades Two Hand alone. Calling it a long sword or a dai-katana is going to be an arbitrary decision either way, so let's skip it and leave it in one place where it indisputably belongs. rpeh •TCE 16:38, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
That probably makes the most sense for an ambiguous one-off object like this --Brf 16:45, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

An Easy Way to Get The Amazing Wepon The Umbra Sword[edit]

first its the easy levitation glitch with the bow. once again i agree with the deadric longbow,and the Ariel's bow. just keep shooting him.its really useful to kill him with the marksmen of 40 and higher.this one also takes long like killing the god Vivec. easy buy levitation potions and keep shooting continuly =).So hopes this works and once more sighned by Acab47. c ya — Unsigned comment by 67.199.164.42 (talk) on 13 decmeber 2010

Umbra is marked as blocked in TESCS[edit]

Just noticed that when I tried editing Umbra in the Construction Set, it was marked as blocked, which made it unable to be edited since everything about the item was greyed out. Is there any functional reason that it would be blocked in this way? --MrDaedalus (talk) 21:33, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
