Foil

In DragonRealms, the foil most likely refers to the small sword[1] which is a light one-handed sword designed for thrusting which evolved out of the longer and heavier rapier of the late Renaissance.
As a rule, the blade of a small sword is comparatively short at around 24 to 33 inches, though some reach over 35 inches. It usually tapers to a sharp point but may lack a cutting edge. It is typically triangular in cross-section, although some of the early examples still have the rhombic and spindle-shaped cross-sections inherited from older weapons, like the rapier. This triangular cross-section may be hollow ground for additional lightness.[2]
