[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7352001, member: 82504"] Elric was arguably not defeated just influenceable and that was what Stormbringer liked in fact arguably Elric's awesomeness influenced Stormbringer to use him as its vehicle. These weapons are not victims of chance about who picks them up? or who they will fight with? that just isn't the case. Since they can readily possess a subject transferring themselves to a new more "worthy" one is pretty easy when they find a new worthy one they can further resist someone attempting to pull them from a stone or from a sheath. The ego contest can be as much to find who they can team up with as anything else. Someone who is an abject failure like a minion class character is obviously a stepping stone to better things. ie remember from the point of view of this artifact and it is as powerful as any artifact with fully heroic ability ... the person controlling them is their weapon even if the control or influence of the superior subject isnt absolute. Its a bit like do you want someone who can barely do a basic attack each turn.. on your team? You may have 100 percent control of that minion class character but he might not have any real ability worth adding to the set expcept a peasants submission to your will. In fact as a subsumed character he probably would never level.. and its going to be progressively weaker. Stormbringer wanted a "player" on the stage of history to be wielding it... Excalibur would let none but a king to do so as I said if you want your character to settle for a peasant ummmmmm yeh then you are a peasant among your kind. Most of the weapons I mentioned are also able to Dance ie they can hover in the air or fly about attacking even not in the grasp of ally. Stormbringer after the bindings were broken, the Peri from the Invisible war and most all of those on the other sources could also take human form temporarily at least. In the soul eater anime many take that human form and socialize with wielders. Most can be dancing weapons and are attackable directly enticing enemies to attack them not just their wielders and when smashed bleeding magic light (again see Stormbringer for descriptions of a bleeding and screaming magic weapon) -- they are just more potent with a wielder and the wielder is more potent with them. Mind speach will also being on the racial power list by the way. [/QUOTE]
