Only reason would be for bosses who reveal their weakspots after some event/damage/time

I know what it's for, but I can only think of a very hacky way to do it.

I think the DS has always been a magical sword in my mind, it just used some form of demon magic to do its work, as if the sword itself had a being inside that used its own energy to do damage, and would obey you more the more skilled you got with a sword ;)

I guess the mana thing for me could represent the spirited weapon getting tired

Yeeeah... I don't see how a sword that makes you glow, goes "voom!" and is called "The Dark Sword", and is initially possessed by a walking pile of animated armor that does 2000 some-odd damage with a charged strike using it, could possibly be mistaken for anything other than magical. ;)

I never saw it as a magical weapon, mainly because you never said it was one when you put it in-game:

- “Sword of Wounding” Up to six levels of charge at Sword 30, each multiplies the damage x2.

Ninja-edit: Before people jump at me again, I'm not trying to start a fight/kill a dog/torch a building with this post. I'm just... quoting the betapack. Thothie, you might want to expand on weapon descriptions next time :wink:

It makes you glow, and goes "voom!" - I mean, I shouldn't have to explain that's magical. :p

The novablade doesn't say anything about being magical either, I just thought ye might figure that out. :p

I have to keep explaining to people that the Torkaloth blade is NOT magical, so it seems people are very selective about what they think is and isn't magical based on when it does/doesn't benefit them. :p

(might also be worth noting it's actually 1.65 per level, and it was 1.5 on its first release.)

Well, when you get teleported into a space station in Descent II, that's not magical, but it still goes "voom!" ;)

Descent kicked ass.

MSC lacks the tech level to make the teleport sound without using magic. ;)

...The dwarves once tried to make a steam-powered teleporter, but the results were, umm... Less than desirable. ;)

"If you heat up water real fast, and let it rise into a cooled chamber, it goes from water to steam to and back water in the new chamber... So, if you heat up a person real fast..."

Speaking of steam-powered apparatuses, the sxbow skinning is complete. Hopefully Glorfindel is cooking up moar awesome anims.
