"Expect to see more of those weapons. Far more of them. They are the things that signify life to us. When you use the magic of your bodies to protect yourself, we rely on the magic we put into our gear."
Many of the weapons and pieces of armour used by the military in Merthin were purposefully designed to be used with magic, rather than being designed to be used independently of magic like in Rovinia. As a result, they often looked fundamentally different to conventional weapons that Marcus would be used to.
