<Snipped quote by Athinar>

Force is velocity plus mass.  I'm letting Xahillion get away with it because I figured, eh, a draw is a plot point, and it's some magical mind shield.  Against someone without powerful magic protections, she's strike with killer force and precision.  Fast doesn't necessarily mean weak.

Plus, a well-placed rapier stab (especially Clotho's rapier) would kill Athinar just as easily as anyone else.
Although I'll make the pedantic point that force is mass times acceleration (acceleration being the change in velocity with time). Velocity times mass is momentum, which is also force times time.
