Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

When you have a (functionally) indestructible sword, it kind of becomes a bit of an omni-tool. Granted, it'd be unwieldy to use a 2 meter long sword to trim your toenails, but you could do it. After which you could chop open a vault door, then slice a tomato. In this case it's mostly a lever. Or an axle, I guess? I actually don't know if there's a tool that's specifically designed to do this. I'm sure there is. A twisty wedge? Maybe an auger? Nah, that's just a giant corkscrew. 

You know, just because the "sword" is indestructible, it doesn't necessarily mean the cross guard is. In practical terms, the sword part of a sword is really the blade and the tang. Like, if the pommel could crack off, or the wrap on the handle could get scuffed, but the blade was still immaculate and retained a perfect edge, I think most people would still regard the sword as being indestructible. The cross guard is more... part of a sword than a pommel is, I think, but it's a good thing the cross guard on Manavore seems to be extremely tough, if perhaps not actually, functionally indestructible. Cause any sword in her hands is probably going to get stress tested in ways the blacksmith/enchanter never imagined.

...and now I'll fuse these to monsters to create- wait never mind, he's dead.

Well, that'll leave a mark...

Probably depends on if it's an enchanted blade, or the sword was enchanted as a whole piece. Which would make it interesting on if the pommel was peened or screwed on, if the dowls/pins could be removed to re-hilt the blade on a katana etc etc..

Very pretty drawings, but I'm having troubles visualizing what is actually happening.

I'm not 100% clear on what Max is attempting, but mildly confidant next comic will clarify/explain.

Max impaled the golem, then started twisting the blade to rotate the golem. In panel 2 you can see the golem has been rotated 90 degrees. In panel 3 she plants her leg on the golem's head, pinning it in place. In panel 4 she continues to twist the blade, but since the golem's head is pinned it can't rotate, so the golem's body is split apart by the rotational force (torque).

See Erin's reply below. Admittedly there's a lot of sparks and flames and stuff in the way.

Even with all the Twisty crunchy color bits....All we can say is....SMEXY BUTT CHEEKS~! <3

Look the sword can.cut through this can and still slice this tomato. Act now and you get the pocket manavore for free - sorta indestructible, snacks on mana, fits in a pocket. A large pocket. Or a pocket dimension! Otten bought with the ronco pocket dimension. Operators are standing by, offer void in New Jersey or where otherwise prohibited by law or common sense.

Pop goes the golem.

Max's version of grinding on a job.

One can forge a whole sword, guard and pommel included. That would just leave the grip as the weak spot. Easily replaced.
