"If it was mundane, it would be," Asch grants. "But blade weapons don't entirely follow the same rules as normal ones. I'd offer to let you swing it, but..."

That'd be weird, given that they've only just met. Still, the blade hardly seems heavy at all as Asch lifts it from its resting position before letting it vanish. "It's on the larger end, but by the standards of 'big' blade weapons, it's not that unusual," he says. "And - sure, horses, we'll go with that."

It is definitely not for cutting down horses.
