It is unknown if the first Bard's Rapiers were dull stage swords enchanted with a touch of Prestidigitation or if a few adventuring bards independently commissioned such blades to help them retell their tales. In either case, both types of blades are often used in taverns today; bard's telling of swashbuckling tales with flourishes striking against metal and wood to play snippets of lute or harp music to accompany.
