I'm not sure what your point is, no. Any magic sword can kill a zombie pretty well?
You are mistaken - almost* no one knows the First Secret. Every necromancer knowing about it would probably be an extinction event. And using the Second Secret involves manipulating Dhar, which is forbidden in and of itself.
It would absolutely be an extinction event. The power of Dhar without the danger of it is an absurd threat.
Your problem right here.
Oh. I suppose my response is "no, that's not possible."Your problem right here.
In fact here is with images.
What you imagine;
What I propose;
I hope it was helpfull.
After all Enchantments should be easier to blackbox than spells.
Except the enchanted weapons that already does stuff like that in WHF. Or the time and army of Zombies were killed by second secret. I am proposing enchanting second secret to a blade to create an army killer. IF you can do it with a spell you can do it with enchantment.
The Second Secret isn't a spell, it's a method of manipulating Dhar. You can't put it in an enchantment without a Daemon to manage it.
With our current knowledge it would have to be a Dhar enchantment - the finesse to use the second secret would be hard to enchant even then, but might be possible, but any attempt to enchant an Ulgu implement that could control Dhar finely enough to use the second secret is far beyond our skills if it's even possible at all.
You are quick to declare it impossible. But you are wrong.
Codify it. Mechanism is clear already.
I am not arguing that we should do it. Just that it should be possible.
"If this line of research proves fruitful, it would revolutionize warfare against one of the Empire's deadliest foes, possibly rendering the very art of Nagash to be useless on a larger scale. Unfortunately, doing so is against the rules so we better drop it."
I wonder if some advantage could be taken of the Waystone link to achieve such a thing?
I gave a perfectly clear reason for why it's impossible. Do you have a counterpoint beyond "you are wrong"? Recall that counterspelling in general is not something that can be put into an enchantment.
Manipulating Dhar would do psychological damage to Mathilde. I do not want her to suffer that. (Partially because of the mindset needed to work with Dhar, partially because of the damage due to breaking the oaths she has made part of the foundation of her self-image.)
Boney has stated, very clearly, that use of the Second Secret requires manipulation of Dhar, which is an Abominable Act. Please stop arguing a subject that we already have WoG on.
I wasn't arguing that we shouldn't do it - but if we do do it we don't want to hand it to the Empire. Dawi have access to true dhar protections, and if the enchantment works there's no reason they couldn't be the ones to wield the Deathcutter Axe as and when a threat arrives that requires it.
If you are talking about the Scroll of the Fifth Lore then RoS says that it was last seen in Marienburg (page 207)
But Dispel Scrolls are exactly that - counterspell in a can.
If we find Karg Dum still holding out, I would totally be up for this. Setting something up at every single Karak might be a bit much, but the outskirts areas that are really hard to reach, or keep reliable communication with? Definitely worth the effort.
