[quote=@IncredibleBee] It's actually rather simple inference. Ganishka's projection during the dock fight right before the boat was made of magic. Guts hurt that by stabbing it with the Dragonslayer. Now, spells and enchantments are also made of magic. Therefore, cutting it with the Dragonslayer will produce the same effect. [/quote] There's actually one thing that's the problem, though, from the example I've been thinking about: what if something IS magical, but the magical effect is simply making it physically more durable? I've not been proposing that magic makes something inherently undamageable. More a 'is it ignoring the magic'. I think we've been arguing over two separate points. [quote=@Earnest Evans] Or a strong melee fighter capable of getting on common ground with Guts. Guts will probably come around if the person talking to him can evoke fond memories. Like someone based off his comrade Griffith, for example. [/quote] Someone like Griffith is the opposite of what we need.
