Mêlée weapons

I do not have a "hobby" of sorts as I am unable to enjoy things since my raising, yet this seems the right place to adress this. For me there is only my work, and with my work come my weapons. My rune weapon is a claidheamh mòr which The Master had claimed from a Scottish nobleman. During the centuries I have collected many weapons, and have learned to forge them myself. Unfortunately they have significantly lost use over the centuries, and everyone uses firearms now.

Do any of you have knowledge about projectileless weapons, either their use or their forging?

The thing is, I don't know if that would be possible in my case.

Oh, does this have to do with your inability to do magic?

Well in a sense, he doesn't. He has something that is for all intents and purposes identical to a soul, but technically the same thing as the souls most organic beings have.

That being said, assuming the djinni he spoke to was correct and his soul produces an unlimited amount of energy, it could be used to make a very powerful weapon. As in, WMD powerful, if not outright doomsday weapon powerful.

As I said in another thread, that could mean a trickle or a waterfall. The power of an old man's ability to bitch about how things were better in his day is unlimited, but you don't see that being used to solve energy needs.

In this specific case, we don't know if the same mechanics for a soul bound weapon would work.

Even if power could only be drawn from your soul at a glacial pace, that doesn't mean it couldn't eventually be stored until enough was accumulated to destroy the world. Just because it might take a few thousand years doesn't mean it isn't possible.

And even if you couldn't make a traditional soul bound weapon, it shouldn't be too difficult to just find some other way to weaponize the energy from your soul. If it exists, it can be used to kill someone.

Good luck to anyone that tries doing it.

I'll make sure it ends well for them.

Oh I wasn't suggesting anyone should try it, there are much easier ways to make a doomsday weapon. I'm just saying that it's possible.

..Fair enough.

I still await the day I wake up strapped into someone's attempt at a doomsday machine.
