[The beginning of the entry is marked with several dots of ink, where Harry set to write and decided against it. This is something he's been preparing to do for some time now, but he's still at odds as to whether it's even worth it. If the audio was on, there'd be a lot of muttering to himself. However, he knows that his stalemate with himself is ( Read more... )

lol power cap, can't resist playing the hero, exercises in futility, what happens if you expelliarmus a sword, swords are not basilisk om noms, defense against the dark everything, still no flying brooms

That would depend, I think, on the type of swordsmanship you're looking to learn.

cruxofapotter September 7 2010, 07:44:59 UTC

I don't know any of them.

There is the Japanese sword and several types of Western sword I've seen since coming here.

cruxofapotter September 7 2010, 08:30:09 UTC

I think mine's a Western sword, though goblins made the one that mine is based off of and I'm not sure if that even fits anywhere.

Fairly certain you can talk to just about anyone here. There's no shortage of swordsmen.

cruxofapotter September 7 2010, 08:10:43 UTC

It's just a matter of finding one willing to teach me.

targetprime September 7 2010, 08:28:21 UTC

Hm. Wasn't there a combat school in development for something like this?

Or is your need more urgent?

cruxofapotter September 7 2010, 08:32:07 UTC

I'd heard things about it, but I've been a little distracted lately. Maybe something's come of it and I just missed it.

Not that urgent, but I'd like to get started all the same.

[Well hey there, Housemate. You're a hard man to get hold of. But if speaking through the enchanted book is your preferred method of bonding, then Neville's okay with it.]

Why a sword, Harry? Is someone in danger?

[Written] Well Harry has a knack for putting a sword through thing's faces. cruxofapotter September 7 2010, 08:41:34 UTC

[He is! Harry can be very sneaky when he doesn't want to be found and Hedwig isn't around to find him.]

Not right now, but I've hit at least one point where defensive magic hasn't been enough. It's this whole stupid power cap thing.

[Written] This is true. =X nearlychosen September 7 2010, 17:12:01 UTC

Is that where you've gone off to? Have you been fighting? Do you need support?

[Written] It's a very useful skill! cruxofapotter September 7 2010, 19:47:42 UTC

No. I'm not fighting right now, I just have places to be.

[Well. Roxas has fought with two Keyblades...and a stick. A sword can't be that hard.]

Depends on what you actually want to do with it.

[Written] cruxofapotter September 7 2010, 08:56:40 UTC

I'd rather just use it for defense. I'm not really keen on stabbing people or anything. I'd just rather have a backup in case magic isn't working well enough.

[Written] perplex_me September 7 2010, 08:58:55 UTC

Defense is a little easier than offense. Have you ever used a sword before, or is this just something random?

[Written] cruxofapotter September 7 2010, 09:04:33 UTC

I have, but that's also been a little random.

I think that depends on what kind of sword you want to use.

I have a sword, but I'm not sure what kind of sword it is.
