It does death damage, 75 points, 5 cards. Any level can use. Until you can get an 80-dam wand (about level 35) it is a great sword. It is like the Beckett Amaranthine Staff...a good starter 'wand'.
The umbra sword gives you five copies of the 75 death damage spell, and has no level requirement. I myself and a few friends have this sword, but we gave it to a weaker characeter who can actually benifit from the 75 death damage it does. this sword is good for any one under level 35, bc most wands and staffs you get after this level are more powerful then the umbra sword.
Bought the Beckett mag today to get the code and the code had already been redeemed.
The magazine looked like grubby little fingers had been all through it, but it was the last copy so I took a chance. It will be going back to the store for a fresh copy elsewhere (read: not Walmart).
I have a pretty good wand now but I think it is cool to be able to redeem a code for a special item.
I am in the Death school so I don't really want low level death spells to set off my traps but I want the special item, dang it!
This swords animation is like a wand attack. Your wizard will not move to the middle of the circle. Some might be a little disappointed in that. Might be an oversight by kingsisle, but the umbra blade can for now be auctioned, whereas the amaranthine staff can't. I don't see why there should be a difference. Both can be traded between your characters however. Thanks, Kieran

He'll look into why this is happening.
Thank you!
I believe by already redeemed Nicoplix meant someone copied the code out of the magazine, but didn't buy it. These codes only work once. It's much too easy for this to happen, but I'm not sure if anything can actually be done about it. I believe all codes in the Beckett magazines are presented in the same way. Not just the Wizard101 codes. If the magazines were in shrinkwrap or the codes were some type of scratch off it might help some. Even that wouldn't completely eliminate the problem of people stealing the codes. Thanks, Kieran

That was my mistake. I got the sword when I was nearing LVL 30. When I reached that level 3 days later, I didn't need it. I had purchased another wand in the Bazaar ahead of time that I wanted to use once I had leveled up.
It's a good sword for beginners. So if you're new to the game and got the sword, then you'll be a force to be reckoned with as you make your way around Wizard City and Krokotopia.
But once you got to around a LVL 30, then you may want to step up your game and get a wand that is more suited to your character.

the best way to make sure that the sword code or any other code hasnt been claimed is by ordering the magazine online. there are a few people who just look through the magazine at local stores and copy down the code.
I orded this magazine online and requested the code online through my email and when i went to use it for my son it said it had been redeemed to many times already... Very frustrating since we'll probably never use the magazine for anything other then whatever wizard101 info runs in it.
