--- Quote ---Why is everyone convince that Luccio invented the swords? Sure she is the only one able to make them, but that might just be a matter of skill.

It was specifically stated in one of the books that Luccio was the ONLY person who could make the swords, and that her ability to do so was lost by her body swap at the end of Dead Beat. Since that point, the WC has been unable to make any additional swords. Apparently you needed a special magical trick or ability to make it work and that trick is very rare or perhaps unique to Luccio.
JB did mention that all the big WC leaders have some cheat or special ability that is not shared by other wizards. Perhaps this was one of Luccios.

She likely has the designs and lore needed to replicate it. There might not be another wizard able to craft it, but what about those dwarfs , who are famed magical craftsmen, they could create and do most of the work to build the sword, allowing a lesser wizard to finish and complet it.

Apparently not, because if she did, the younger and newer wardens like Harry would all have swords by now.. Unless of course she really didn't lose the ability but only thinks she did because of Peabody's mind control ink. It is to the enemy's advantage after all if the wardens are less effective because they don't have custom made swords to match their talents.
Phariah:
while it has been said Luccio might be the only current person that could make Warden blades. i think this could be true. we already know of wizards having differing Talents and Affinities. it could be she had the right combination of them that allowed her to learn from a Tome or Book the Lore to craft them.
what i find interesting is that the WCouncil is basically stagnating itself, possibly destroying major Talents. the way they run itself is so old school and behind the times for our current population and growth. the Warlocks they have killed and were basically innocent or minor offenders but still caused an infraction and died/ were executed. imagine if they were carriers of some rare Talents, or combinations of Talent and Affinity. this is why i so wish the Paranet is absorbed into the WCouncil. to find these newbs before they Warlock-out.
Talent= supernatural skill. like Harry's Listening, or his ability to Artifice and craft is close to it.
Affinity= natural link to an Elemental nature. like Harry's to fire.

--- Quote from: Sibelis on March 24, 2016, 12:17:26 AM ---Knowing that one warden became many, and their original job, to me at least seems the same, to me their is little difference between what a warlock becomes and the things in the well, heck for all we know the things in the well find resonance with the actions of those warlocks and rach out through said connection to influence and try to control or meld with(which would transfer consiuosness not necassarly raw power, though an increased flow seems likely) until they have replaced enough of them that they genuinely believe themselves to be said creature, at which point, perhaps they are?
What I wonder at from that one warden, is the precise significance of the grey cloak, as it has been pointed out as a specific in woj. I have more than a few ideas of course, but would like some neutral feedback.

"As bad as the monsters are, humans can do worse", or something to that effect. The basic difference between warlock & THINGS is scale. Is argle-bargle-monster really that different from crazed cursing Korean kid? My theory is all this goes back to humans becoming dominant and various past flavors of monster-hunting groups.
Old days: The Warden has to go out and take down big bad monsters. The monsters are too something to destroy, hence DR. And comparatively few of them - unless anyone has better numbers, I'm assuming a few thousand, caught and penned over time.
New days: Damaged humans are the monsters. A lot more of them, but much less powerful. So you need a group of less-badass wardens to take over, and you don't have to bother with prison anymore.
Allow maybe half a millenium, and most people won't remember DR.
Associations of gray: Goodman Gray, I think "He Who Dances around Mac's place" had a wrap of strips of gray cloth, the gray council, halfway on the spectrum of White Council, Gray Cloak, and Black Staff. Maaaybe the blood repelling property is relevant - the Warden has more resistance to prisoners' weird brain-hurting powers, and similar?
