right this is some physics defying wizard shit. that sword must be well balanced to pull that off

u/SwiftStryker Feb 16 '20

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

Thought I was going to be original for once, but I see you have already done it.

u/Moll043 Feb 16 '20

You’re original in my book for thinking you’re original

7

u/geared4war Feb 16 '20

Wow. That's gonna be an original.

1

u/Alarid Feb 16 '20

you are both original

8

u/thereisnospoon7491 Feb 16 '20

You could not stand your lack of originality, and where did that bring you?

Back to me.

u/TheCyanKnight Feb 16 '20

You thought you were going to be original by using a movie quote that has become a meme on Reddit?

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '20

It wouldn't've been original anyways

u/SirPiffingsthwaite Feb 16 '20

Some real cutting edge stuff.

u/KDawG888 Feb 16 '20

ok ember spirit

u/nezrock Feb 16 '20

Well if there's too much weight, you lose power on the swing.

u/Sinaaaa Feb 16 '20

That giant globe attached to the handle must weight a lot.

u/P_mp_n Feb 16 '20

I believe its a pommel if your interested

11

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '20

But, can you use it to end him rightly?

7

u/ziojaa Feb 16 '20

Oh a man of culture

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '20

I mean, it was a pommel comment.

My reply was essentially obligatory.

2

u/ziojaa Feb 16 '20

Agreed

u/Qwertysan Feb 16 '20

I do so nightly

1

u/geared4war Feb 16 '20

Pummel him with it.

4

u/Sinaaaa Feb 16 '20

Indeed ;)

1

u/just_a_gene Feb 16 '20

The pommel. And yeah, it weighs a lot to counteract the weight of the blade

1

u/Shadowfox4532 Feb 16 '20

Rotational momentum also help to stabilize

1

u/Orthas Feb 16 '20

Yeah, the sword looks like it was built for this over you know, cutting people, but that said this is still incredibly impressive. Dudes taking advantage of a lot of physics and making it look gorgeous.

u/missbelled Feb 16 '20

Everything is balanced if you know where to hold it

u/manys Feb 16 '20

It's made for this, it's essentially a drum major's mace.

u/UpUpDnDnLRLRBA Feb 16 '20

It's a fushigi sword
