Spada son contro ogni arma mortale, ne Lanza ne Azza ni daga contra mi vale. Longa e curta me posso fare. e me strengho e vegno alo zogho stretto, e'vegno allo tor de spada e allo abrazare mia arte si'e roture e ligadure so ben fare de coverte e ferire sempre in quelle voglio finire, chi contra me fara, ben lo faro langure. E son Reale e'mantegno la Justicia, la bonta acresco e destruzo la malicia. Chi me guardera fazendo in me crose, de fatto de armizare gli faro fama e vose.

thank you frank. so are you!

I'm a wizard with swords?

You could be if you want to be! what's your favorite kind of sword? Mine are swiss sabres and flyssa! <3

I have no idea. I've never used one in real life, so it seems like an odd thing to care about?

How do you use a saber and flyssa together? (The first search result for "flyssa" is just the word itself)

Also, if anyone has any sword recommendations -- not necessarily ones they think would be good for me specifically but rather that are good in general, that might help!

(My only experience with swords was when my brother got into LARPing back before I went off to college, which was kind of funny because he ended up being really bad at fighting even though he is built like a tank. He made his own weapon out of two-by-fours, or something like that.)

Oh! A saber and a Flyssa used together could work, but it’s important to remember that wielding two swords at the same time is something mostly done by highly proficient fencers looking to show off- more practical than not holding anything at all, perhaps, but something more protective like a shield tends to be the historical go-to for a reason. Flyssa come in many lengths, however, so it could work as an off-hand weapon.

As for recommendations- Well! Every sword has historical context, so a sword that is good in general depends on what you intend to do with it! For many people historically, a sword was a symbol of status as much as a weapon- for instance, if you were to wear it on your side every day, something convenient to carry would be the way to go. If you’re expecting to go into battle, you’d certainly want something more substantial than a smallsword- but if you’re a noble just expecting to mainly fight in duels, it’s a perfectly apt sword! If you tell me what you want out of your sword, I’ll be able to help! <3

It’s funny you mention your brother- my older brother actually taught me how to fight with swords when I was young! I was always a fan of fighting with sticks with my friends, but my older brother got his hands on some Kendo training swords. :)
