Sword-Forging: Fantasy

The #impact of the sword in her gut was so slight that she didn't even feel the pain for a moment, just a sharp, searing heat. Steam hissed as her flesh quenched the blade.
"Ah, yes, this is a good one," the smith said, smiling.
"Will she live?"

Inspiration: impact
Potential: high
Notes: She does live, maybe because the person who asked cared enough to try and save her. And she does have a weird magical link to this evil (well, it's forged that way, at least) sword, which would complicate some things.
