    Question: From all the novels y'all have read, what character(s) do you think is the BEST Magic Swordsman?

    This can be defined and answered as either:

    1) Most skilled in both sorcery and swordsmanship. (AKA the strongest.)

    OR

    2) Most accurately portrays the class stereotype itself. (Uses runic armor, enchanted swords, history of learning both arts, whatever etc.)

    Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on this stereotype. For myself, I'm leaning more towards examples like Red Mages in Final Fantasy XIV (2) or how everyone and their mom mistake MC as a Runic Knight in The Amber Sword (1).

    True. You're hella strong in Dark Souls with both. Only downside is that it's quite slow in the beginning.

    Of course there's no better candidate than Shadow-sama from To be Power in the Shadow for the strongest magic swordsman position
