Reflection maps are always applied spherically. If your sword is falt, it isn't going to catch much of the reflection. You might try mising a blurred textrue map with the reflection map. Also, try tesselating the sword blade and give it a slight outward bulge. his will go a long way in picking up reflections. As for refractions, you might want to check ou the 3DS Special Effects book.
