Transcript
- [Man and woman are in a (presumed) weapon store talking to the salesman (who is wearing a hat and is bearded)
- [Salesman]: This sword was forged from a fallen star. Antimony impurities make the blade surpassingly brittle and weak.
- [Salesman]: And this dagger is made of metal from a far-off kingdom. It glows blue.
- [Customer]: When orcs are near?
- [Salesman]: No, always. Radiation from the Actinium content.
- [Female Customer]: ...Does it have eldritch powers?
- [Salesman]: It gives the wearer +2 to cancer risk.
- [Male Customer]: I think we should find another shop.
Explanation
The comic explains how weapons really would behave if they were created out of the unusual materials.
In stories using unusual materials for weapons traditionally make the weapons better and most importantly, cooler.
