Gameplay Tips and Tricks

The Elemental Fury shout works on it as long as it carries no added enchantment.
Take it back from Ysgramor's statue right after placing it. The quest carries on as normal.
Its 25 base damage matches the Daedric Battleaxe, which normally appears only near level 47.

Weapon Levels

Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.

Wuuthrad has the same damage at every character level.
