Just a quick question.
I know that only a mage who has bond himself to a Weapon Foci can gain the magical benifits from it (+'s to melee combat pools), but what if a mundane picked up the mage's sword foci and swung it at an Air Spirit with the immunity to normal weapons power? Would the magical sword still hurt the spirit (because it is still magical no matter who is using it) or would it be considered a "normal weapon" in this case because the user wasn't a mage or bound to it? Basically I could go either way on this. I don't like the idea of the mundanes in my party buying magica sowrds,clubs, etc... that they can't bond to but can still use as magic weapons against spirits (obviously without the +melee benifits), but at the same time I can see magical foci causing damage to a spirit no matter who is using it, because there are always magical in nature, wether bound to a mage or not, so they should be able to hurt/disrupt a spirit if it hits one. |
