[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 5078317, member: 41321"] I thought the same thing. It would have been smart for them to try get Kara to Nicci, since Mord Sith always beats Wizard in this game. If they weren't planning to do that then they shouldn't have even reminded us that Mord Sith can control magic used against them. As far as the sword not protecting Leo, Leo was stupidly jumping in front of the lightning in a "hit me!" maneuver, while Richard had to hold the sword up and concentrate or push or something like that (he certainly looked like it was an effort). That, plus the fact that Richard has been using the sword much longer than Leo I think can explain Leo's death with no problems. Richard has a stronger bond with the sword to the point where he was getting anger feedback from it in an earlier episode. In my mind it's not unreasonable at all that Richard can do things with the sword that Leo couldn't. I think Leo's death was due to stupid characters, not necessarily due to bad writing. (Though it could be a combination of both.) That's actually a bonus in my mind. Richard was too much of a Swiss Army Knife with an "I win!" button in the books. Everything cool that could be done, Richard could do it. I groaned when they started talking about his wizard powers a few episodes ago and found it refreshing when they took his powers away, then groaned again when there was talk of returning the powers to him. I hope they're gone for good. And what reason does Zedd have to stick with the party if Richard is a more powerful wizard? If I'm remembering correctly (and I may not be, since I read the books so long ago) Zedd didn't "adventure" with Richard and Kahlan in the books. Zedd's got his own "I win" button that I won't go into, but I like his character and I feel like the series would lose something if he ended up retiring to a castle or city somewhere. Plus, lack of magical ability makes Richard seem less of a bad copy of Rand from Wheel of Time. [/QUOTE]
