[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9018598, member: 63508"] Alot of the 80s and 90s cartoon and comics heroes and villians were buffed to all hell with magic with their weapons being the foci for magic attacks. You have cartoonn/anime/manga like Thundercats, HeMan, King Arthur, One Piece, Bleach, Fairy Tale, Naruto who are loaded with characters that are "swordsmen with a suite of curated magical attacks and buffs under a theme". Often tech was used and the the tech was so advanced it was basically magic. Although I blame the cartoons and anime for sme of our twisted views of weapons combat. The villians couldn'tbe skinny little magic wizards because the heroes were magically buffed to have haste, jump, spider, climb, absorb elements, always on and having attack cantrips and dispel magic at will. So the villain often was another buffed warrior and they just clashed swords becuase "magic was a waste of time in battle." [/QUOTE]
