IIRC, the Beautiful sword is stronger by about 3 or 5 attack points but the Scarred Blade has a higher critical hit rate.
You can acquire the Scarred Blade after getting Sheila's corruption to 100 and obtaining her lethicite. She'll warn you that she wont be able to control herself once she reaches 90, so I recommend you select the "listen" button so that you don't have to fight her to corrupt her. Afterwards, make sure your corruption is at 100 before you meet her again, have sex with her, and then the transformation scene should occur where she gives you her lethicite, which you can take back to Tel'Adre's Weapon Shop to have the sword made after 14 days. Bear in mind, if your corruption is below a certain amount w/o the tolerance perk, the sword will retaliate against you and try to kill you if you attempt to pick it up again. If you win, you will break the sword, causing it's attack value to be 1/2 it's original form, becoming the Broken Scarred Blade.
Oooh okay. The Scarred Blade requires you to corrupt Shelia, that makes sense, being that you need to actively corrupt her to make that a possibility.
That being said, I have to wonder if you can't have other options of obtaining it. I mean there is other lethicite's in the game. The one you can get if you corrupt Marae for example, or the one that you get from the giant statue in the Fortress... maybe it just hasn't been added yet?
If there would be added soemwhere free to find lethice (well that knowing all demons attraction to it shouldn't happen in first place) then it could be used as other way to get scarred blade. I would say finding in some way lethice in Blight Ridge would be totaly fine (since it location where PC can find ONLY demon type of enemies like imps, incubus, succubus or omnibus). Or find it in Demon Mine.
The only way I could see the Demon Mine idea coming into action is after you've corrupted Marae. Since the is the main goddess over all of Mareth, corrupting her should corrupt the world itself. Realistically speaking, however, the planet itself doesn't have an actual soul, so according to the game's lore about lethicite, that couldn't work.

I'm almost positive lethicite is the crystallized soul that's expelled once a creature is fully corrupted. If that's the case there's no way it can just form spontaneously in the ground, you need a living being to be corrupted first. In other words, a lethicite mine would contradict the game's established lore.
Edit: Oops, didn't realize Jiffler already made that point.

is there a way to expand the stash?
