infinite tallness, secure on his back.
Indeed, such a device might even make him the Tallest!
I'm glad that got caught
Hey, it's another line of defense against Raven's dad, I'll take it.
The enchantment does seem kinda random for its recipient, barring generic heroic paladin tropes, until you remember that one specific problem lurking in the background.
Canon Omake: Mean and Green!
Meanwhile, in Titans Tower...
"For the last time I am NOT A ZOMBIE!" Beast Boy's shout echoed out of the kitchen and several hallways.
"But Friend Beast Boy you are green, as are the zombies in the viewing of the movies." Starfire commented, though she was inspecting the odd inscription on her blade. Something about it felt important and she wasn't entirely sure how.
"That doesn't mean I'm a zombie! I'm a vegetarian for the love of tofu!" Beast Boy was, in fact, at that moment eating a slice of garden lover's and absolutely not pouting. He was actually starting to get annoyed even though he was still weirded out by being included in the list of 'extra effective' to Starfire's new bling.
"So that just means you're a vegetarian zombie!" Cyborg chimed in on his third slice of meat lover's with extra bacon. "Graaaaiiins! Graaaaiins!" He cackled to himself and nearly choked.
"Is there a safe way to actually check? Using weapons particularly effective on teammates seems like something we should know about. Even if someone can't take it for their own use doesn't mean they can't utilize it." Robin had the mental image of somewhere between Mumbo Jumbo actually being clever with his illusions for once, or someone managing to just... throw Starfire at Beast Boy pointy-side out.
"Dude, no! I am not volunteering to get a holy paper cut from something that looks like it's something you unlock for speed-running a JRPG!" Beast Boy refused in what he felt was a perfectly reasonable argument.
"I am fairly sure Beast Boy is not undead." Raven finally chimed in, sick of the argument and pondering over certain benefits of a largely unbreakable holy weapon less than ten feet away from her... It was kind of comforting in a macabre way. "At best, the sword's just detecting that his sense of humor belongs in an unmarked grave somewhere."
"HEY! My jokes aren't that bad!" Beast Boy's outrage petered off to a moment of consideration. The look was shared by others, including Starfire herself.
"Friends, does the curse mean that I must wield the weapon under the table so that I may utilize a fork or knife at the table of dinner?" Or maybe Starfire had her mind on more practical concerns.

Also... About the inscription on the sword...
Did Alchemist just inscribe the Life Equation with most of the symbols left as 'blanks' (empty circles) on Starfire's sword?

Starfire's people, the Pomeranians Tamaraneans, use emotions to empower their abilities. Guess what the Life Equation uses?
And they were symbols held within circles, with one of them being the Green Lantern symbol.

Did Alchemist give Starfire the sword known as "Trigon's Bane"?
The time-traveler Saturn Girl said Alchemist created Trigon's Bane but didn't say who wielded it. Imagine the cheerful ray of sunshine that is Starfire gaining interstellar fame for her victory over Lord Trigon.

Pretty sure Trigon's Bane is the soul destroying sword Alchemist made out of the metal Lucifer gave him, especially with the mentions of a sword chained into it's sheath given both by her iirc and by Alec's making of it a bit before he came to Teen Titans.

Because he's an avatar of The Red, and you basically have to either be born an avatar or die in a way that catches The Red's (or The Blue/Black/Green/etc's) attention so that it resurrects you, and apparently Garfield died of a disease but came back due to something his parents had done that caught its attention earlier?

Omake:
Darknessa, or more accurately her kinda(?) father or atleast guardian had invented them over for dinner again.
As they where waiting for the food, Jinx and Darknessa where playing some game on a off brand Waynestation, Mammoth was petting the spooky talking dog named Shindy or something like that.
He on the other hand? He was idling tinkering upon his PAK, nothing too serious but that pit sniffer Robin did some minor damage to it in their last fight with those teen titans idiots.
"everyone the feast is almost ready! And I have prepared an exquisite one for us today! why don't you finish up your game and we shall eat like kings and queens!" Shadow's voice quietly yet powerfully came
from down stairs.
"Kay let me beat Jinx real quick- there" "Ugh whatever let's hurry up and eat" the two girls bickered while shutting down the game.
"Come on Mammoth food's read" Jinx turned towards the big lug.
"But Shindy?" "Dont worry she'll be with us" "Okay"
And Mammoth picked up the Shadowy Dog, petting it all the whilst.
By the time they finally made it down stairs the food had been set, Steak and Noodles with Mashed Potatoes and Corn… very starchy but nonetheless looked and smelled delicious.
—
After Dinner and everyone talking the Girls, Mammoth and the Dog went up stairs he stayed behind to 'help with the dishes' of course only Mammoth actually fell for it but the polite fiction between everyone no one actually said anything
"So what did you want Gizmo? Insight into mine true nature? Knowledge of the arcane? Something else entirely?" With that the Shadowy figure's form shifted revealing a dangerous self only hinted at.
Stopping at the malevolent form and swallowing any fear he had a job to do, something tasked to him by Brother Blood because he was the Team's (Future) Leader… and because he wanted his, as much as it galled him to be Snot-Nosedly worried about his ugh… friends.
Taking a deep inhale then exhale he asked his question. "Mister uh Sir Shadow?"
"Yes?"
"I don't want to be mean- or a scalp-licker or anything- but you said you where an assassin right! Uh right?"
"Yes I did imply that, but I have been so much more."
"One of the classes in H.I.V.E is how to get into contact with assassins. Along with Famous assassin be they contemporary or historical"
"Yes I have read the lesson plans, who do you wish dead young villain?"
"No one Sir! It's just I've been looking into you- not saying that you're not a great assassin! But I haven't found anything despite looking for it!"
"Oh. Well that's quite simple really, unlike most Assassins, or Thieves… I prefer to keep my greatest advantage instead of tossing it aside."
"Greatest advantage?" He whispered
"What do Assassins like Deathstroke, KGBeast, Deadshot, or thieves like Captain Freeze or Cat Woman have in common? They're known elements. While the average citizenry might not everything they've heard whispers of them. They go in, the kill or steal making a scene and leave."
The shadowy man sighed out before continuing
"They give true assassins and thieves a bad name and yet their showmanship can have its uses, when everyone thinks an assassin will appear going in guns blazing and sword swinging they forget that an assassin can poison their drink, curse their jewelry, sabotaging their vehicle."
"Oh"
"Oh in deed, there's a reason why the gun is on the wall and not in an armory. And it's not just for ease of access in case an invader or something else equally unlikely."
With that Shadow seemed to loose his serious 'form' and turned back into a more jovial tune.
"Now then my young villain let us bring refreshments to Darknessa and your colleagues of evil!"

Oh, god...
The 'Graaaiins!' bit had me laughing on my lunch break. I always need that at work and I greatly appreciate it.
As Lycanthromancer stated, for an individual to become a member of the parliaments? There are only two methods, birth and rebirth.
Garfield, in most continuities, caught a lethal disease somewhere in the depths of Africa. His parents fought tooth and nail to research a cure and thought they found one. I think it had something to do with chimpanzees or something that were green? That part feels kind of vague.
Regardless, they inject this cure into Garfield and he turns green and 'lives' through the disease that should have killed him. Maybe he did survive? Maybe he only mostly died. Either way, it connected Garfield to the Red.
He's not an undead, strictly speaking, but he was still reanimated and is still connected to and empowered by the force that prevented his death. The disruption effect from Dark Souls' Holy Weapon spell could have an impact on that connection.
Cyrus Gold, aka Solomon Grundy, would definitely be impacted because he -is- a zombie on top of being an avatar of the Gray.
And holy smokes! I got Yuffie'd with another awesome omake!

This reminds me of a 'Rising of the Shield Hero' and 'Fate/Stay Night' crossover, where Shirou was summoned as the Sword Hero, and thanks to his experiences and actual nature, is completely unable to use Forks, Knives or even wooden spoons, because the Holy Sword considers them 'Weapons'. Then he sees Naofumi and Motoyasu use their own silverware with no issue and begins glaring at them and his sword.
Turns out it is entirely his own fault because he sees them AS Weapons himself since he has used them or can think of ways to using them as such. Whereas Naofumi and Motoyasu are regular guys for the most part and as such can't conceive such a strange thought themselves.
Poor Koriand'r is absolutely the kind to have a similar issue as Shirou and have to finesse her way around proper table manners and tools. XD
Huh, I thought it was because Garfield was originally a ginger before becoming Beast Boy? You know, with how gingers are considered soulless and The Red essentially resurrecting his arse. Also, the multiple previous ginger jokes you pulled.

Not really sure, but i think it's a tossup between a couple of reasons. The reason I'm going to call the technical reason is the mechanics of the curse require that for the whole soul-bind advantage, otherwise I doubt Alchemist would let such a powerful weapon leave his grasp. On a more... Character level, Starfire is the one Titan who wouldn't be affected by it. Robin and Cyborg have a lot of different weapons they use, while Raven and Beastboy i think would have issues given the nature of themselves and the weapon.

I don't recall if we ever get to see any of the Life Equation like we do Anti-Life, but given the format Robin noticed, and the Anti-Life being "Anti-Life = Loneliness +Alienation + Fear + Despair..." etc, then, yeah, Al absolutely inscribed the Life Equation expressed entirely in Lantern symbols.
Which tracks, since the White Lanterns are inextricably linked to the Life Entity.

...Don't you mean the Black ? Because the Black is death and decay, the Gray is fungus (aka mushrooms).

Does she?
No, really. This is bothering me now. Does mundane use of items that could be used as a melee weapon count? Like a knife seems like a plausible concern. Or something like a baseball bat. A hammer?
No, I meant the Gray. Look, I'm not the guy who did the whole load behind the Parliaments. That's coming from decades upon decades of different writers for DC.
Anton Arcane is the avatar of the Black, death and decay. A title he's used to great effect to slip from the grasps of Hell and one he's fought his own daughter for. The stronghold of the Black is a place inspired by the elephant graveyards and found in the dustbowl of the United States.
Solomon Grundy is a corpse that, in a few runs that actually focus on the Parliaments, has been seen with mushrooms growing in and through him. His corpse was dumped in Slaughter Swamp outside of Gotham and that's the physical location which is tied to the Gray. Which, weird but not surprisingly, is actually an alien Parliament from outer space. Because of reasons.
Depending on where things are with that particular storyline, the Metal and the Gray may have joined forces to take over the duties of the Black in a rare joint effort with the other Parliaments to try and fully remove the Black from the Earth as a whole so as to depower Anton Arcane who wants the entire world to rot.
