If reality-warping is out, I'll have to re-work the abilities for a new power. Which will pretty well nix the teleporting, so you don't have to worry about that either.And Leeroy, the sword still has some flexibility, just not as much as his armor.

Alright...yeah I was going to say as long as the sword has flexibility, a sword needs to survive impact and still retain a sharp cutting edge, is referred to as a spring. A powerful impact will temporarily deform the sword, however due to a degree of hardness it will return to its original shape (i.e straight and effective, not bent and likely to miss its mark due to an inability to travel in a perfect arc. ) This temper also allows the steel to retain enough hardness that it will generally use hold a good cutting edge when used against things like bone, wood ,and even iron.
