On topic-

Go to wiki and look up sword. Gives you a list of different names of the swords and the links to their pages. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Sword

Golden Phoenix Blade is fairly short and makes a pretty good caster's weapon

briar blade is relatively small and also diminutive in size all around as compared to the gladius/short sword.

I use:
Jade Sword on my mesmer
Broadsword skin or golden phoenix blade on my monk
Katana on my monk heroes (used to be my monk's sword)
Sephis sword (on my male mesmer--this one is longer though)

These also look nice on casters:
Crenellated swords
Dadao swords
Oni Blades

Bramble Blade is pretty short - it has a rather elaborate hilt accompanying the stubby blade so it might look more caster-like.

Agreed. It's rarely seen too.

It's one of my favorite skins, and it looks great on a caster.

Crested Machete is also one of the shortest swords out there I think.

Katanas and Shinobi Blades are great for casters as they are thin and non-obtrusive. Plus they are pretty stylish

Also you could try and a get a canthan broadsword for a 'Razajan's Fervor' look.

Yeah thats a short sword ~.~

Go with GPB dude. They have a long handle which looks really good on monks (casters in general).
