I want my Scimitars. :[

[naturaltwohands]

I would like to request help in creating some ordinary, nonmagical scimitars in Liminal Space. If we are to engage in any sort of battle, I wish to have the weapons most familiar to my hands, regardless of their appropriateness in the setting, to lessen the risk of me inadvertently harming one of the Stricken with lethal force.

I would that would make such knowledge easy.

They are, and they have served me well. One was a gift, and the other was earned by defeating a dragon with a dear friend.

Protection from the power of starlight, and destruction from the power of winter. Potent weapons both.

[She closes her eyes.]

Let's see...I remember something from Davesprite's dungeon that might be useful here. In addition to the idea of combining two objects, his version of alchemy also included the idea of "subtracting" one object from another. If I take one of your swords and keep just the shape of the handle and blade, subtracting everything else...

[Beatrice focuses on her Liminal Skills, creating a non-magical copy of Twinkle on the floor in front of her, less some of the more obvious decorative elements.]

That should do it.

[An identification spell? Interesting. His eyes widen slightly when she recreates Twinkle, and he bends down to pick it up, turning around away from her. Drizzt goes through a number of quick attacks, then brightens.]

It feels true!

[awitchdidit]

Ahaha, I'm glad! It's always good to practice my skills in new ways, so thank you for the opportunity. I'll do the same with Icingdeath in a moment...

[naturaltwohands]

It's always good to grow--never stop!

[Drizzt holds his scimitar, feeling comforted by its weight.]

[awitchdidit]

[A bit more concentration, and Drizzt has his other sword, or at least something with the same blade and handle shape with less distinctive artwork.]

There you are, two serviceable knockoffs.

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt smiles widely after she finishes, and he takes the second knockoff. He backs away from her and goes through motions of a mock battle to make sure that they are true. For being young, it sure isn't stopping him.]

And what fine knockoffs they are—my greatest thanks!
