Last year I dropped my dreadknight and his sword kinda bent. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I linked it rather than added the image because it was massive when added as an image.

Heat it gently over a small candle at the midpoint of the arc of the bend. Hold the tip of the sword with your hand and you will feel when it will be heated enough. Then just hold it in wanted place for about 10-15 seconds and you're done.
Goodluck!

Don't use a candle.
Just gently bend it past the point that it needs to be and it will spring back straight.
The sword will be weaker so be mindful of that in the future.

I would recommend heating it first, not over flame but with a hair dryer or something so it will bend back easier and less likely to snap.

I've used hot water to bend finecast, I assume it'll work the same here.

Hot water works fine for reshaping polystyrene (boiling).
Hold it in the water for about a minute (don't immerse your own body parts).

Carefully bend back into shape. Dunk in cold water to set.

I derped with the heating, and later on the tip came off. I was gonna replace it with the hammer but a friend suggested roughing up the sword, so it looks pretty gak, but it's more stable I guess xD

Cut it off at the break and impale something on it with the end sticking through. A bit of care on lining up and pinning and it will look straight and hide the damage.

Bit late to reply, I ended up trying to heat it with a candle to soften it and it ended up getting worse so I broke it off and glued bits back on and tried to give it the appearance of being through a lot of trauma, probably unrealistic to how the weapons actually work and they’d probably get a new one but it’s whatever I guess, looks cool to me.

I posted this and then realised I did actually post an image of it before, and idk how to delete my own posts.
