<Snipped quote by Disdain>

For starters, my distaste is for you, not for the modification. Second, I'm attempting to figure out the location least likely to be worn away by usage. I want this to be entirely solid-state; I'm not repainting anything.

@Dynamics

Now that is significantly more sensible. I think it might work if I just Realmatically transform it to be colourful, and then the colour will be indelible.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

You are assuming something entirely inaccurate.

@Dynamics

Then, by all means, correct me!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

*Groans*
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard; I loath your quirks with every fiber of my being. Will generating color upon usage of a Realmatic ability suffice?

@Dynamics

Just don't let your hatred become a weakness. That's... possible. But limiting. The static abilities will be significantly more useful if the colour already exists. Are you really going to let your emotional distaste for a slight splotch of colour deprive you of an advantage? Especially such an unconditional one?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Never mind. You're fired.

@Dynamics

*Shrugs* The Sevenfold Covenant is a very personal magic. Objects can't have the personality required for a sentient being to interact with Existence on such a close level, so the colour and a caster with Realmatic capabilities have to suffice.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

I hate you so much. How much is required?

@Dynamics

Just a dab—but it has to be enough to give the sword personality. A blotch of radiating rainbow paint on the tip would do, or a couple of crisscrossing flairs. Hire a minimalist artist to do it if you want it really inconspicuous.

*All emotion drains from my face and blinks*
Are you kidding me right now?

@Dynamics

*Doubles over laughing for a few seconds and then straightens back up* No. *Grins* I can't say that with a straight face, looking at yours, but seriously, no.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Apply both. Make the second available to those who can use them.

@Dynamics

Totally doable. Now, the most important question: does the sword have all seven colours of the rainbow somewhere?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

The difference being?

@Dynamics

The first requires no sentient actor but can invariably only destroy in the ways I give it, and the second requires a sentient actor with at least slight Realmatic Capabilities to choose what effects to produce.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Yes.

@Dynamics

Do you want them static or flexible?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

No—that would be a foolish liability.

@Dynamics

So you just want it to have reality-altering properties.
