My Thoughts:
I'd heard that Silverlight used to hit demons fairly hard, and was weakened. I wanted to compare the weapon to my existing sword, which happened to be a rune scimitar. It turned out to be a really close comparison, and I was quite suprised that Silverlight managed to hit slightly harder on lesser demons than the scimitar, considering its low strength bonus. There is a drawback, however. Silverlight hits at about the rate of a longsword and its low attack bonus makes it not hit as often as the scimitar. The scimitar was the winner in the end because it clearly hit more often than Silverlight. Anyone who's using a dragon scimitar or something of that caliber shouldn't even consider using Silverlight on lessers, because it would be far outshined. In the end, Silverlight's damage bonus to demons just wasn't enough to pull it through. Anyone who's capable of fighting a demon probably won't be using this.
