Scrotie - I took a look at my character.
My Tenebrium skill was only at 3. Bringing it up to 5 increased my damage to 341-683.
Crafting a custom Sword (with tenebrium) only brought it up to 482-778
However, crafting a custom AXE (with tenebrium) brought it to 482-963

So apparently Axes are simply better than Swords, when it comes to crafted items.
I probably never bothered giving her a crafted axe because I looked at the sword, concluded that it wasn't much of an upgrade (especially since I would be losing some unique bonuses), and stopped there.

Honestly, though, it kind of brings up another reason why I think spellcasters are OP. They are barely reliant on gear at all. A warrior or ranger or rogue who can't find a good weapon is essentially toothless. A mage who can't find a good weapon doesn't care. At all.

Edit: I'm probably also biased because I put Glass Cannon on both of my mages, but neither of my warriors. I try to take that into account, but...
