Trivia

• Despite its description's claim that it "deals no real damage", the Practice Axe is actually statistically equal or superior to the Iron Axe in every respect save its inability to deal critical hits.
• The French, German, and Italian translations of Path of Radiance rename the Practice Axe "bronze axe", likely because the Practice Axe is internally known by the game by the file name "BRONZEAXE". This matches the Bronze Axe that would be introduced in the next game, and the Practice Axe and the Radiant Dawn Bronze Axe even share the same inability to inflict critical hits.
