    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    But it's mainly the flaming stick that does the work.

    Can a dementor be fought off with a flaming stick?

    No.

    You'd want the sword, though. Wood doesn't parry steel all that well, although it works.

    As for dementors, you need a certain spell, right? Or is it pure courage? Or both?

    It's the magic spell of positive emotion.

    @Cygan: I read that as "It's the Magic of positive emotion"

    Considering that Dementors are a metaphor for depression, that's not so far-fetched.

    The metaphor is kinda wasted on the solution to Dementors being strictly magical, though.

    That was the scariest thing. I am still shaking. Anyway, I need to get better at handling jump scares.

    The Dementors themselves are kind of magical too.

    The solution is magical, but the method of calling the solution up is thinking positively. And even then, you're not free- you need to chase the demons away still.
  • RaddRadd
    I thought they could never even come if you thought positively.

    What I appreciate about conventional fantasy settings is the capacity to chase absolutely anything away with a sword. :D

    Dementors? No, they can come in any time, any where. They can affect anyone.

    Except the things that need magic.

    Although then I guess you can just go out and find a magic sword.

    Oh hush, I'm operating on pure id here. xD

    Just make sure it is not Excalibur.

    Excalibur is fickle, but not exactly an asshole. It simply rejects decisions made out of personal desire.

    Excalibur has a list of 1000 requirements you must meet before you can wield him.

    I don't suppose any of those are martially sound requirements? Because I would expect that when Excalibur got a wielder, it'd make sure that wielder was good enough to not die.

    ^ Aw man, that'd suck in the middle of a fight. One sneeze and your entire plan's fucked.

    Well, Excalibur himself can make you martially sound, so...

    So I guess if you're already pretty good, there is no point to Excalibur, except being King of England.

    Actually, if Excalibur is a pipeline to God, God essentially fights on your behalf, right? I wonder if Liechtenauer's methods could ruin God's shit?

    He is an incredibly powerful Weapon. Like, you have no idea. He is as powerful as Death.

    what are you talking about

    xD

    Alright, so as far as I understand Excalibur in the original Arthurian myths, it's a holy weapon delivered by the grace of God to empower the rightful King of England. That essentially means that the sword follows the will of God, including how it improves one's fighting skills.

    Liechtenauer was a German knight who developed and became Grand Master of a martial art that ending up informing all European swordsmanship. So this guy is essentially the Grand Master of all European sword techniques, hell yeah.

    Now the question is whether the Grand Master of European sword technique would be able to defeat the will of God, considering that Excalibur doesn't grant sword beams or anything. It just makes you really good at fighting. But you can get good yourself.

    I never said it "Just" does that though. That's just one thing it does.

    But it doesn't cut through other swords, it doesn't give sword beams or anything. It's more a symbol of authority than a hugely powerful artifact; in fact, its magic is pretty subtle.

    It gives you giant wings made out of solid light or something.

    It lets you fly with giant wings.

    What an overpowered sword lol.

    Jeez, if I were programming that game, I'd cut that power in an instant.
