I have a question that has been nagging me in regards to the Chosen Weapons and Zeno's scythe. What would happen if one of those weapons began to absorb the magic out of Kavonn's staff and Hex and Mye's magical instruments? Would it permanently destroy them or simply put them out of commission for a while?
An interesting question! I hope the answer is satisfactory
Well, trying not to spoil anything major, but neither weapon has that particular ability... at least in regards to magic
But I'll answer the question as though it does just for the sake of interest!The pendant, wand and Kavonn's skull staff work on slightly different levels. If the scythe/S.O.O. sucked the juice out of Hex's pendant, it would have to be doing so when Hex was actively using it because otherwise it is sort of inert. Doing so would just put it back to sleep until he activated it again. Sort of Pez dispenser, you can remove as many as you want but he can still refill it!
Sometimes it's not entirely a conscious activation though, since it has a tendency to sometimes act on Hex's impulses before he has time to think of consequences...he's had to actively keep it from doing bad things at times. (sometimes he does't try very hard though!) There's more to how his pendant works, but I'm going to leave those details unsaid for the meantime
Mye's wand is a little more like on "standby" mode, but it tends to draw magic from its surroundings a little like an injured Elite does. I reckon it would just weaken its ability to draw in enough magic to activate a spell, if they were actively drawing the magic out of it continuously.
Kavonn's staff, on the other hand, is a bit more connected to him. Sucking all the magic out of it would probably have some devastating effects on him, though we will elaborate on that more later as the story moves on.
