ah, i see. Though actually you were ~19,000 off since I only said a thousand in the first place ;p

<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

Nope, not quite. It's New Testament stuff, but in short the dead Clones still exist. Just not in a corporeal form, though.

<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

If the antimagic effect is engaged by cutting stuff, then the Dragonslayer is attacking both the magic and the physical at the same time. Thus, both items collapse simultaneously. It's like a door that's opened by two button presses at the same time.

<Snipped quote by PKMNB0Y>

Are they providing computational power or simply draining it, though?

<Snipped quote by Flamelord>

I wasn't off though. I said 20001 straight up. No edits, see? :<

<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

Well, let me state right now that that goes into spoiler territory in NT. Which is bad.

Also because all the translated original Index volumes went down. So. You know, Gotta read NT to understand.

<Snipped quote by PKMNB0Y>

Shhhh, details like that don't matter. *Swiftly eliminates PKMNBOY before he can protest.*

<Snipped quote by PKMNB0Y>

Fine, fine, I'll get back onto it soon. I got sidetracked by fanfiction after 16. :P

@IncredibleBee: I don't mean just that. A fair amount of characters wield unique magic weaponry that can't be replaced. That's a line that isn't allowed to be crossed, completely destroying a character's ability to fight is a problem.

If it can destroy those then it does need restraining in some form.

@Laughing Matter: You have indeed been ghosting, and if I knew you meant that level of durability I would not have accepted your character.

I don't think there's many characters who can put that level of power into an attack, and they few that can don't do it for every basic attack. Very few require that amount of damage to hurt them. Maybe Saber if it's a totally mundane form of attack, but even then...

Ghosting away every hit and treating your character as an unstoppable force of destruction is really not acceptable.

More like needing to press two buttons--but you can only reach one at a time. If the magic exists in the same place as the physical, you have to be able to cut the physical to cut the magic. If the enchantment puts the weapon beyond something Guts can cut through sheer force, the weapon's integrity won't be compromised.

<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

Yeah, but in that case it would need to boost the weapon's durability to unbelievable levels. Guts smashed corundum during one fight.

<Snipped quote by IncredibleBee>

Corundum is brittle; it's like hitting diamond. It will break. What you need is something about as resilient to force/cutting as a seven-ish foot long iron blade. Given the forces magic weapons tend to be required to endure, it's not that unlikely.

<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

Well, Guts has also cut through multiple soldiers clad in steel armor, or several magic enhanced tigers, or several magic enhanced alligators, all in one swing. My point is, he can hit hard.

<Snipped quote by IncredibleBee>

Even before the Dragonslayer, yes. I have read past the Band of the Hawk. :P

But when your lower bound for necessary enhanced durability is to match the sword swinging (if you're going to actively retaliate) you don't need a massive ability to absorb damage.

<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

But you'd need to absorb large amounts of force it you're going to block the Dragonslayer.

Actually, even if the sword didn't shatter, you'd need to be amazingly strong to keep your arms from giving out, and even if you did block, you'd get knocked around a decent distance.

Is this still open?
