Yeah, uh... My mind totally didn't go there ever, not at all.

All I've ever definitely thought of is whether Panoramia might find the shadow charming or something. Or whether she ever teases Mathy over the shadow doing something weird/goofy/cute or something.

My brain is innocent and will not be taking further questions at this time.

EDIT: BUT LOOK the iMPorTAnt thing is that the shadow is just charming and seems like it has a big effect on mathilde's social presence even if she's not always conscious of that, and I wonder what Pan thinks of it

EDIT2: sdfgdgggg

I'd like to think that the shadow does a little jig whenever Mathilde is happy and she's trying to look stoic, like a dog's wagging tail, and it's a complete dead giveaway for Panoramia that she just never mentions to Mathilde because it's too cute.

Estalians dual-wield?

Can't find it in the wiki, at most they have a cavalry that uses lances and swords, but that is pretty normal because those weapons are meant for different reaches and not dual-wielded like two swords or axes might be.

Estalians are famous for their duelists, who duel wield. They often have a rapier in one hand and a parrying dagger in the other (I think the dagger has a specific name but I can't recall it right now).

Okay, that is a valid dual-wielding style.

Though a very different one from those that use two similar weapons, so still not something for Mathilde with two runeblades.

I'd guess its probably a scale based on how much warpstone is involved in its design and functionality.
With 1 being warpstone all the way down and 6 being wholly conventional engineering that they can replicate and substitute materials for.

In between options would get either principles, materials or a bit of both.
 
Pretty sure real life dual wielders didn't dual wield two weapons of the same length. They used one main weapon and a supporting weapon for parrying/defence/support. Not that Warhammer has to obey the rules of reality, but for the most part non Chaotic humans are fairly tame.

There's one school among the Diestros that uses the Main Gauche, the ones that follow Claudius Estevan.

The most popular school is that of Figuera, which only involves a single rapier, not a side dagger.

Right, that is sensible and in most cases true.

But don't tell me you would have said no if a Slayer offered Mathilde the crashcourse on "Climbing giants by using your two big axes as climbing picks"?

Or alternativly a Gandalf-like style of agressivly using sword and staff both in melee-combat.

Yea there were some pretty cool combos. Nightmare to learn though.
 
So I participate in a medieval combat group with foam-based weapons. Obviously, we have a lot of people who try to dual-wield swords. Most of them don't do very well, but there is one lady who knows what she is doing and she is utterly terrifying with them.

Okay, now that skill would be rather useless, but for the little journeymanling we were when first starting to git gud at swording it was far more relevant.

Well it would be a hell of a workout, but not really something you can do with a sword.

The sword needs to bite in really deeply for you to stand on it.

And slayers definitely don't teach shoddy climbing techniques.
Ya gotta die properly :V, and falling is shameful.
 
I always found it weird that the consensus on dual wielding is that it's impractical. Whenever I did it in play fights as a kid, I always found success. Just gotta make sure you attack with both weapons at the same time from different directions. Easy.

In duels it is indeed viable. On a battlefield having a shield instead of the second weapon is both far easier to learn and protects from enemy missile troops

Yup, a long and short weapon(or a shield) gives you an answer at two different optimal engagement lengths, and be that much harder for an opponent to pay attention to. Two blades of equal size would tend to get in each other's way without very good coordination, and also makes for poor leverage and force, which would in turn cost accuracy and impact power...

...so elves totally could.

Dueling for points aside you likely want a single larger weapon in real combat unless using a shield, though wielding two large weapons have some intimidation effect.

It's impractical when facing a professional for most people. Your same time from different directions likely leaves giant gaping holes to get poked, while inherently meaning you aren't trying to defend, and are facing your opponent head on presenting the maximum target area for pokeage.

*fenced for a couple years in college. Replace poked with your favored method of opening exposed arteries and unfunctioning organs*

I did historical re-enactment, and the general rule was that you don't duel wield. Ever.
Closest I ever saw, I think, was someone with a spear using a dagger as an off-hand.
Also we mostly used wooden weapons, but there were metal ones as well.
