Woo, best sword boyyyyyyy

Considering the nature of Talentium, tournaments, especially upscale ones, would be monitored rather heavily, both to protect participants and audience. You're talking about superhumans duking it out when they don't even necessarily have the durability to stay alive, after all. I think it'd make more sense if something went wrong in a crusade in Talze Utera rather than a fighting tournament.

To confirm, does Brave Lodall and Ecva's Love increase his physical attributes on top of the boost he gets from Talentium? Or not? Cause it's sort of a case where if not, he's REALLY weak, and if yes, he's REALLY strong.

Also, to further elaborate...

Sword Skills are techniques, not just straight up buffs or stuff like that. They're special moves that have obtained the ability to warp reality for the sake of a singular desire. If you go full animu reference, if someone really wanted to cut down a swallow, they'd obtain the ability to strike three times simultaneously. If someone really wanted to be able to launch anyone in the air with an uppercut, they'd have an uppercut that can unconditionally launch any enemy, no matter how unreasonably massive.

On the other hand, the physical boost they get from Talentium is in line more with their image of what 'strength' is. People who imagine that 'strength' is the ability to endure would get their physical boost skewed towards durability, while someone who imagines 'strength' as the ability to beat down those in their path would get their physical boost skewed towards striking power.

So yeah.

Lodall's Band sounds pretty evil. What's up with that? XD

Alright let's dive right in. 

Well I saw Banor (the swordsman using Talentium) as a interloper. Kinda of a renegade that simply attacked the winner for no-reason besides wanting to prove himself stronger. Brave Lodall and Ecva's Love is how few the different aspects. Lodall was physically strong being, an ideal to admire, so it meagerly boosted his strength to notable but not incredible heights. Ecva's Love is more pure, powerful, and emotional. We all know how emotions can strengthen a person's resolve and determination.  So that's more of a devastating change. 

I'm guessing you don't have a problem with Relena's Left Arm? 

I wasn't too sure on how the Talentium boost worked. To me it was a bit subjective so if I had to place it, I would say apart from Brave Lodall  and Ecva's Love (which are facets of his ideal of strength) the Talentium would empower him somewhere in the middle-area. He'd probably be bit more swifter. 

As for Lodall's Band, well I figured he was a powerful swordsman in his day. Had some pretty dope adventures, befriended some oddities, made enemies of some oddities. I'm guessing the band came from some x adventure in some x place. Some artifact that he liked and looted. Ecva just called it his band because he wore it almost all the time. Just so happened he stopped wearing it a few years back for unknown reasons.
