It matters to me; I've something of a fetish for medieval weaponry. And it only requires some basic knowledge in swords to answer this particular question. Since Vita's playing a swordsman, it's reasonable to assume she's researched at least a little bit about the field, so I don't think it's an unreasonable question to ask.

It is inherently unreasonable to ask someone to have researched the weight of a class of sword that never historically existed, then have combined that range with information on the weight and balance for various styles of historical weapon, furthermore having combined it with typical strength, to have adjusted it for what a short woman would be expected to wield, and [i]then[/i] worked out the weight for the resulting weapon with and without magic.

It's an extraneous detail that has no bearing on anything at all, and is [i]completely[/i] without merit in calculating. The whole equation is without any actual constants. This is [i]before[/i] the problem with the difference in weight between parade weapons and actual implements intrudes and makes everything [i]even worse off.[/i]
