The mage who fights with a sword

Source : Wowhead · Icy Veins · 3 October 2026

A mage in melee? With this saber, yes. Against a frozen target, every hit you land adds 98 Fire damage. You make it from a rare blade found in Shadowfang Keep and an even rarer scroll.

How to do it

  1. Step 1 : Get the blade

    In Shadowfang Keep, Baron Silverlaine can drop the Blade of Silverlaine. Wowhead puts it at 0.4%, so plan on several runs. It binds when picked up, so you have to loot it yourself.

  2. Step 2 : Decipher the Scroll of the Saber

    Mages decipher unknown scrolls with Comprehend Scroll. One of them can turn out to be the Scroll of the Saber.

    Player tip According to players on Wowhead and Icy Veins, it comes at random from a level 15 scroll, such as Scroll: OMIT KESA. The first player to find it went through 119 scrolls; others are at several hundred.

  3. Step 3 : Put it together

    Use the scroll on the blade: it turns into the Coldflame Saber.

Result

Freeze your target, with Frost Nova for example, then strike: as long as it stays frozen, every hit deals 98 extra Fire damage. The battle mage is no longer a joke.
