After all, these are games where you shoot fire and ice from your fingers, i doubt this is more often met historically than DW-ing.
That makes sense in the context, because magic exists in the universe, the swords and other weapons shown are fairly conventional.
What? That doesn't make much sense, sorry. You can't apply rules from 1 universe to magic and from another to weapons.
The fact that they look like weapons in another universe (real let's say) doesn't mean rules for them in their universe apply from another universe.
You think in our universe we have had swords/axes etc. that could make elemental damage - fire, water, tenebrium (?) ?
It's all fictional, including the weapons. Skeletons also look like real ones, but in DOS they walk and talk and so on.
