Yes to the later. People keep resurrecting the thread to ask about power levels or "can Taylor kill X".

I'd like to see Noelle have a happy ending too, but there is a lot of rationale for thinking it will go the same way as it did in Hive Daughter. And there too there was actually a plausible reason for thinking that Taylor could have actually solved her problem -- but all Taylor saw was a raging beast (unsuccessfully) attempting to eat her, so she put it down like a rabid dog and moved on.
I very much doubt, all things considered, that the Travelers will be very rational about things -- but Lisa might, and in this story she is here, so there is hope.

As another possible alternative, QA might be able to counter-mind-whammy Noelle with the Shardy Stare of Friend Attraction and keep her sane enough to get all the required information to Taylor.

And as a counter to that, QA might make things even worse, because Taylor's first reaction to Noelle will be 'oh shit, a monster', and QA likes to make sure her hostess isn't disappointed...

Nice. I just thought up the perfect one though:
The Reaper's Peepers
Confession: If I had this power, I would probably use it constantly and absentmindedly on useless crap. Old water bottle? Deathed. A pen? murderered. Junk mail? More like the world's deadest junk confetti.
I would have a very hard time resisting the temptation to trace the lines on any veggies I ever have reason to be slicing. I'd say half my onions would be full-deaded, not all of them intentionally.

Not the full-deaded ones, that's for sure.
Shiki's power is weird when it comes to plants. When she uses it on flower cuttings, the flowers don't just get cut. They die. As in, they near-instantly brown and wilt to the point of "full murderered" as opposed to the "half dead" you get when you pick a dandelion.
Not something I want to do to things I need to eat.
...actually, the ability to immediately dehydrate plants would be very useful for cooking, but I feel like it really doesn't line up with a conceptual understanding of death.
And now we have to ask ourselves the very important question - if Taylor kills food, is it still edible? Does she just kill the form of an onion, or the essence of an onion? And what about all the bacteria and other stuff that walks on and inside an onion?
You guys are saying all that stuff as if Taylor couldn't actually control the kind of Death she inflicts. It's no harder then selecting the proper line to trace.
Question for all,
In regard to Taylor's possible use of another weapon. Is there any possible weapon in the Wormverse with sufficient mystery that would give Taylor an edge when fighting powerful foes?
In regard to Shiki and her family sword, Kanesada Kuji, other than her skilled swordsmanship and her super body from her self-suggestion skill, the sword had a lot of built up mystery because it was over 500 years old. Thus it's stronger mystery was able to overpower weaker mystery items. Is there any such weapon in the Worm-verse that would have a lot of mystery and is weldable by Taylor?

Maybe, but I don't think it matters, since the Worm-verse in general isn't mysterious.
Tinker-tech could work in a way. Since it's basically alien technology that can't be understood by humans, it's level of mystery to the World should actually be pretty high, I think. Practically though, even if tinker-tech has 0 mystery, it can still be useful. For example, a knife that can make itself longer or shorter, such a thing shouldn't be difficult to make by any tinkerer, while also being pretty dangerous in Taylor's hands. Besides, she doesn't need more firepower, so for it to be useful, it has to have more of an utility than anything.
Get Flechette to enhance a blade. Kill the end of the effect. Wield a physics canceling sword.

There may be. Any weapon that has been consistently used by some important hero or villain may have built up such over time, assuming wormverse does "mystery" even if it normally dosent mean anything.
Like, if theres one knife Jack slash has been using for a long time, or myrrdins staff, Chavaliers stuff, Queen of swords had a sword...

Id hold of on dauntless stuff, because that is essentially a powereffect that may not react well to attempts by others to wield it, while the others have powers conducted trough them, but are still fundamentally normal objects (well chevaliers is a bunch of objects).
We dont know if others can even touch dauntless stuff (since his advanced gear seems to be made from some weird solid energy), and may not survive his death or even separation from him well.

One of Armsmaster's nanothorn weapons could cut a large number of lines simultaneously, since it's got bazillions* of tiny little edges all cutting stuff in parallel.
*) Since it's a Tinker weapon which runs on bullshit, the correct technical term is indeed "bazillions".
