Have you read Past Sins? You might know where this comes from. Someone asked me what I thought the magic swords looked like, this is what I imagine.

Eh, if you told me this was a half-plotted effort, I would agree with you for the most part. I kinda threw the background in as an afterthought. Not intended to be a masterpiece or anything, just felt like showing someone a concept.

As a picture, I like it. There might even be some future event when Luna has to do battle for some reason.

Hmm... If her right-side sword was edge-outward to match the left, I'd like it better. What do you think? Dumb idea?

You know.. every time I read these scenes or see pictures like this.. I can never shake the thought:

'This is cool and all, but if you don't have to worry about how you hold it, isn't the best shape for a bladed weapon a ring?'

A ring would be superior for sawing motions, but a long narrow point is critical for the kind of thrusts that often bypass defenses. Also, blocking with a ring is difficult, though a half ring would be a lot better because it would be easier to block with the inner surface. Curved blades like this were often designed for use on horseback IRL because they would slide along a surface as the rider passed by, where straight edges might get stuck more easily. For someone who is a horse, though, the curved blade would still probably denote a style that involves a lot of movement.

If I were to pick a best shape for a blade that I didn't have to hold with my hand, I would pick something kind of like the Nike swoosh, a long straight end with a curved end on the opposite side.

Hm.. that's a point, I suppose I'd forgotten the usefulness of stabbing motions.

.. Maybe some sort of stretched, pointy butterfly shape, then XD

Thanks for pointing that out.
