[color=gray][s]I would also like to know how physical armaments fail to impact the youkai in any way. What are they that they would be completely immune to physical influence yet able to walk the physical street? 
During the nights of Crimson Sky, are they vulnerable in their own terrain as it blurs the borders? If not, what is "hope" in a world where malicious ghosts run rampant? How would nobody notice other than us?

I've been waiting for someone to ask since Ive been less than thrilled with the ambiguous excuse for their immunity which is never elaborated upon...to the point of using magic to excuse the effectiveness of melee. (Why would there be a 'Weapon' section if weapons did nothing? (I assumed there would eventually be enemies where weapons mattered...but then what about characters without damaging magic until then?))

Sorry to be the devil's advocate, but it was a question I've been meaning to ask for the sake of everyone with physical weapons.[/s][/color]

Just read the posts after this one...

The answer is that there is no advantage to having weapons and that only casters have any real power.
