[QUOTE="gizmo33, post: 4597849, member: 30001"] I'm not saying either one of these things, and based on your other comments I think you misunderstood my post. In the case of the phoenix on the sword, Conan didn't perform a ritual. But "benefitting from someone else's magic" is way too conveniently vague. That would fit better for the case of an enemy of Conan being killed by some friendly wizard off-stage. Carrying around a sword that was a subject of an enchantment, and using it to slay a demon (however unintentional perhaps) is significantly more immersed in the magic than the off-stage situation. I'm not laying claim to someone elses context on this discussion though, so please read my posts literally because I've gotten a little turned around about what the case is that other folks are trying to make regarding this. I don't think Conan needs to perform rituals in order to prove that he has higher than average intelligence. [/QUOTE]
