20 Gems [ Accidental Video]

[weaponizedgems]

Well, I suppose that's the last of my things from the Boutique.  Or the important things anyway.

[Rarity comes into view of her wayward scroll after a few moments and gives her room a critical look over. The room? Her new work room... in Zetta's castle. It's official, she's moved in at his request. Now the Knight Commander just... needed to figure out what to do with the Boutique itself.

She frowns a little and takes a moment to adjust a rather extravagant looking bolt of fabric on the shelf and then straighten a few other spaces. She spares a glance behind her and spots her scroll laying open and shakes her head. ]

...I suppose I cannot hide the fact that I've moved in with Zetta, or at least my scroll doesn't seem to think so....

[She pauses for a moment and there may be a hint of nervousness before she brushes it firmly back in it's corner and smiles at the scroll, all business for the moment.]

From now on I suppose I shall be working from the castle if anyone wishes to place commission. I enjoy my work too much simply to give it up due to a location change.  Also, I am not oppose to sparing with anypony wishing to work on their swordsmanship if they so wish. Even I need to keep my skills sharp some how.

[She smiles for the scroll for a few seconds longer before she rolls it shut. Now... back to organizing.... And finishing redecorating parts of the castle that are in desperate need of it.]

In a sense, yes and no. The Gems are as much apart of me as my magic tends to be. I hand picked and crafted each gem to fit together in a blade suited to my needs.

It was.. painstaking, but rather rewarding.

But, that does have it's downfalls of course. Where I can shatter my blade and command each individual mote to defend or attack, I cannot change the size or overall shape of said blade or it's components.

However, the variety of patterns I can create with each mote more than makes up for it.

So there's a tradeoff -- you understand your gems perfectly, but you can only rely on those gems. Without your weapon of choice, you're much weaker.

[Dust glances down, as he twitches the foreleg that his own sword rests against. He understands that.]

Essentially, yes.

[That WAS pretty much the gist of it.]

I could still throw around rocks and debris, but, it simply would not be as effective as my sword.

I guess the question there is, how effective do you need to be...

Re: [Visual]

[weaponizedgems]

Preferably effective enough to knock out or disarm my opponent naturally. I try not to kill if possible.

Doesn't take much to be able to do that, does it? Not if you can use an ordinary rock better than they could use their weapon...
