The Flame Sword is not nearly as powerful, statistically, as the Ice Brand found in Mt. Gulg, but far more enemies are vulnerable to it. It is powerful against Undead and Regenerating creatures in addition to those weak against Fire, but since most creatures of those types are already weak against Fire, this rarely comes up. However, plenty of creatures in general are weak against Fire, making the Flame Sword a powerful and useful Weapon.

The Ice Armor, except that it resists Fire instead of Ice. It is useful to give one character the Ice Armor and Flame Shield (or the Flame Mail and Ice Shield) to grant them resistance to both Ice and Fire.

The Ice Shield is the Fire-resistant version of the Flame Shield. Give it to someone wearing the Flame Mail to maximize your elemental resistances.
The Ice Sword is a huge upgrade over every Weapon you've seen so far, both in terms of Damage and Hit Rate. Though found first, the Ice Sword is significantly more powerful than the Flame Sword—it is a bit strange to be using it in the Ice Cave, but it's quite effective. It also makes an excellent Weapon for your RedMAGE, potentially granting them a third attack before any other Weapon. Just for good measure, you'll find a second Ice Sword in the Castle of Ordeal.
Stay cool even in summer with this magical blade forged from unmelting ice! Brrr!

The Ice Brand is a fantastic new sword, significantly more powerful than the Flame Sword. Sadly you get it after you've already fought the Fire Gigas, but it's still a solid basic-use sword until you find the Defender in the Cyclone.
