Weapons

A weapon, in the context of Battle Fantasia, refers to a tool that a magical girl or boy, or antagonist, uses to combat their enemies. While not all weapons may be strictly magical or hyper-technological in their nature, or even have the same appearance as a traditional weapon, being used by a magic-wielder still often imbues them with the power to defeat the supernatural, such as youma, or exert control over them. Swords, guns and more exotic implements of destruction such as vine whips complement the expected fare of stereotypical-appearing magic wands and crystal orbs. Some are even intelligent or are capable of some autonomy, straddling the line between weapon and creation.

The rules governing weapons are wide ranging, and depend much on where the object comes from. Some may be stored in a subspace dimension or in some other form until needed, while others have persistance and must be carted around. There are those that recognize only a specific owner and will only be effective in their control, as well as some that know only the allegiance of whose hand they're in at the time. It's also entirely possible that an individual owns many weapons, or none at all. Because of these myriad properties, it's often useful to refer to magical weapons according to the term associated with their origin, when such a word or phrase is available. Sometimes similar weapon concepts with different origins are incorrectly called by the same native term for like reasons; as this leads to some confusion, so it is not a perfect solution.
