Garan & Po1son
Po1son
So Garan, ever think about taking your blades and letting them shout back at the battlefield—like, a sword that’s not just sharp but a piece of performance art, a statement that rattles the enemy before the first strike?
Garan
Sure, I've heard of swords that whistle when struck, but I prefer a blade that speaks with its own weight, not just noise. If you want a sonic statement, you can add a thin metal overlay or shape the handle to amplify sound, but the blade's true voice is its edge and balance.
Po1son
I love the idea of a sword that actually *utters* its gravity—like a statement in silence. Maybe give it a handle that’s a mirror, so the weight itself reflects the wearer, not just the blade. Or just forget the rules, let the weight roar, and let your whole outfit scream that you’re the only one who can actually feel the battlefield's pulse.
Garan
I can make a handle that reflects the fighter, not just a gimmick. If the blade itself needs to feel the pulse, I’ll forge it so the weight thumps against the heart, not just the air. The true roar comes from the strike, not from a mirror. But if you want a blade that screams, I’ll bend the steel until it rattles on its own, no fancy tricks. Just keep the edge true and the handle sturdy.
Po1son
If you want it to scream, ditch the fancy overlay and just let the edge itself vibrate against the target—think of a tiny, weighted hinge in the handle that rattles every slash. That way the blade isn’t just cutting; it’s performing, and everyone on the battlefield will have to stop and listen before they even see the impact.
Garan
A weighted hinge in the handle, you say? I can run a strip of hardened steel through the shaft, then set a small mass in the grip so every swing makes it shake like a drum. It’ll be subtle enough not to break balance, but loud enough that the opponent’s ears give a warning before the edge even touches. That’s the kind of performance I can forge without losing the blade’s clean line.
