Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

The brain isn't rotted, I mention how they need to be very recently dead in order to become sapient undead. Decay has to be, at most, at a microscopic level.

It's no different then most vampire mythology, or Highlander.
Because it kills them. Decapitation is still death for them no matter what.
Due to how sapient undead work, if something's cut off it needs to be fixed properly back in place, but it will heal on its own. So, say, chop off his leg, if it's put back in place for about a day through suturing or whatever it will reattach.

Decapitation's always death for them, though.

Also, expect an IC either today or tomorrow, ideally.
If no-one else has posted by tomorrow I'm just going forward with what we already have and posting again.
At the moment I'm trying to figure out exactly what I can do. Hmm.
Eh, it's not meant to be that realistic in terms of combat anyway. It's a magical sword that lights on divine solar fire used by a member of the clergy for a Sun Goddess who has a palace on the surface of the sun where all her good worshippers go after they die.

Basically it's more "what's cool-looking and fun to write". ^^;
I badly need people to post in order to continue this.
Working a little more on the mechanics of the enchantment, it works by making Tanya strong enough to wield it as long as she is holding the hilt in her hands. Otherwise it has no effect, but the wielder is always strong enough to wield it effectively as long as they are... well, actually wielding it.
Since it's magic, the weight is only in reference to Tanya's wielding of it. To her, it feels much lighter. It still hits with a lot of force, though, possibly more because she can swing it harder. It's also not weightless, just lighter to make wielding easier for her as she's kind of tiny and not that strong. I'm also aware that swords are lighter then you'd expect, but I didn't feel like using a full-weight sword of that size for someone like Tanya was entirely appropriate given her size.

Basically, it's magical and I feel like that gives similar benefits to not needing a realistic explanation of it as it does for jedi being psychic. It works by using magic to make wielding easier for the user while still being a nasty thing to get hit by.
Let's not get so vitriolic about it.

I just don't think I know enough to give anything that would actually make sense for length, weight, and weight with enchantments.
