Anyway, the sword is the floor boss, it wouldn't be surprising if Elucidator would be unmatched for a long while, seeing as quarter bosses are REALLY hard. However, it would eventually be outdone by some sword on a higher floor, unless the sword was constantly enhanced and even that has a limit. And even so, I don't remember any mention of it being THE best in the game. Especially since, as I've already said, it would eventually be outdone.

However, Elucidator is a unique item, since it's a uniquely named boss drop. I have to agree. Elucidator is pretty much a rare item. And even though crystals are close to magic, it's not really magic. Plus, potions are NOT magic. Just putting that out there.
