<Snipped quote by UltikanaRe>

Not only is it possible, that very video displays some of the advantages to be had from using a parrying dagger of some kind. In Japan, you also have Miyamoto Musashi, arguably the country's most famous martial artist, and he's known for developing a two sword style.

Also, all spells warp physics by their very definition.

Firstly, that is why I said i would consider adding it as a form of shield. Secondly, Miyamoto was a duelist, meaning that he used the weapons for show rather than effective combat, thirdly, spells do not violate the physics of the world I have created. In my world I have [i]chosen[/i] to keep the law of gravity, and chosen not to keep the theory of evolution, to be selective about the law of thermodynamics, etc. You also assume I wish to follow the archetypes of fantasy games. In reality, I wish to break them.
