Give it a quick spin and if you're fast enough, it'll just shake everything a bit but everyone around is going to puke.

Brace your back against a tree and just point at an enemy. They'll fall into the sword.

That's how you end up with a 200lb missile smashing your guts out

Or they cast featherfall and start dropping things on you

How can they drop things on you when you just point the sword the other way?

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you point it the other way, you're not braced anymore and start falling.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

You just brace on the other side of the tree at the same time. Swing your arm right and the tree will move around you.

Sure. And imagine trying to swing it at something or stabbing someone with it. They’d get sucked into the sword, sorta.

But.

Interactions with the sword of down is going to be interesting.

Also, there’s shield of upside-down causes it to reverse when it successfully blocks.

Also, there’s a small chance it’ll break at a really inopportune moment.

Don’t forget the sheathes that reverse the blades polarity when they’re angry with the user

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You couldn't even hold the sword of down due to the shape.

Sounds like chaos to me.
