The True Science Behind . . .
. . . Animated Weapons ! Flying Weapon | Animated Weapon is a Spell you say? It is magical you say? It is supernatural you say? Only a primordial elemental who hasn't established a rational, modern and scientific way of thinking would still believe that nonsense!
Origins: Truth is, the weapon animation is achieved through very small robots called nanomachines (Imagine those nanomachines like tiny, very-very tiny Armagios) that manipulate the object and make it fly. Nanomachines were first created by Graviton researchers, all VIP members of
A.R.M.A.G.I.O. (
Absolutely
Rational
Magnetism-related
And
Gravity-related
International
Organization).
However, some evil Entropy scientists managed to steal the nanomachine blueprints! After several failed attempts, the two greatest entropic scientists,
Maxwell and
Schrödinger, had finally managed to replace the
Gravity Pull ability of those very-little-tiny Armagios with a new ability called
Gravity Push, thus creating an anti-gravity effect and planning to use that against their rival element!
But there is nothing better than stealing from a thief, is there? So, a revolutionary army of Air knowned as
SoFreedom Fighters, pulled a succesfull invasion inside the most secret base of
D.I.S.C.O.R.D. (
Defended
Institute of
Scientifically
Calculated
Overthrow of
Rival
Democracies), hoping to steal chemical weapons than caused Mutations and use them to a terrorist attack towards the Earth States, that ruled all over the Air Nations with the iron fists of their Golems. Fortunately, instead of finding any Mutating chemicals, they found and steal the nanomachine blueprints instead.
Finally, the Air Nations, in spite of lacking the scientific experience and superior technology of both Gravity and Entropy, they managed to decipher the blueprints and constructed the first nanomachines which used their new
Gravity Push ability to make a piece of metal ascend to the sky! That "piece of metal" was actually a Longsword, thus making it the first actual flying weapon in existence!
How It Works: Nanomachines dig their way deep into the weapon's hilt. They have powerful adamantine drills and the whole process doesn't take more than a few seconds. Once inside, they use the anti-gravity effect of their "Gravity Push" ability to make the weapon ascend and hold it floating to the air. After that, the nanomachines can recieve and execute simple commands via the elemental's Personal Computer, like "attack this", "snipe this", "move there" etc. Every nanomachine co-operates perfectly with each other, executing any commands by moving the weapon with them.
And What About The Special Powers Of The Weapons? Are Those Scientific Too: Of course they are!
* Sniping ability is just an extra arrow being shot with purely mundane means.
* Fiery occurs by putting oil all over the sword's blade and litting it up with a match.
* Tsunami happens by shippingly sending powerful vibrations to the ground.
* Morning Star is not really "Immaterial". It is just made by a super hard metal, making it unable to break to pieces and it comes with an alarm that warns its owner if it is about to be Stolen, making the thief run away!
* Vampirism heals you if you are turned on by stabbing your opponent and then licking the blood of your dagger. It is not supernatural, it is just plain gross!
* Arsenic poisons its opponents because it has arsenic at the tip of its blade.
* Pulverizer is just super-extra hard and powerful, shattering anything it strikes with force.
* Momentum is just
p=mv, pure science!
* Scramble does nothing; nothing at all. Quanta are just getting messed up because they are completely unstable by their own nature!
* Lobotomizer just lobotomize. Pure orthodox scientific tactics of any mental institution!
* Regeneration comes via completely biological means. Every living being is able to regenerate and close any open wounds, period.
* Reversing Time is the succesful attempt of Time Physicists to perform time travel. It just we can't go back more than a few seconds.
Conclusion: With the excuse of nanomachines doing stuff, you can explain EVERYTHING!
