It is certainly a nice idea. No reasons I can think of that it doesn't work. Poisoned blades are also a nice idea - and perhaps the copious use of blade venom by old Runequesers can be retconned in some way.

I am not sure if there is a direct reference but I got the impression from somewhere that blue moon metal might share some characteristics with Uranium - invisible, dangerous. Not sure if this analogy can get us any neat ideas - I know next to nothing about metallurgy.
