Anyone can throw a sword, but it takes practice to properly use one
This is where Vetexâs lore & gameplay clash heavily once again.
Technically, classes donât even exist in the Arcane Universe (Or Shallowsea Universe, if you wanna be technical with an old name we got for it) and you can use anything + magic, and youâll need to imbue your magic onto other stuff to make it stack up to magic users
This point is where it gets insanely technical, as now weâre talking about a weapon made with magic. BUT, we do have answers:
Because Magic cannot permanently create things, unlike Sea Curses, itâll cost Diane energy to maintain the sword for a longer period of time than the rubble would normally last. Also, mages could probably conjure swords and swing them in the air and not have to worry about technical skill; so, a strictly magical skill.
âŚAlso, like what @MrYes said. Takes practice to use a sword right.

I personally consider the class system to just be a way to easily visualize what a character focuses on when it comes to combative skills
thatâs good, diane is probably too reckless to be trusted with a permanent weapons anyways
plus, its way more fun to just throw swords around than actually strategizing your attacks
Sheâs probably not at the level with her magic to be able to create complex forms yet though, so her obsidian attacks look more like sheâs hurling a low poly pinecone at you

this option makes no sense because of the ability of powerful mages waterproofing their magics meaning that her species would just be really shitty at using magic
makes the most sense, would probably a mutation of water and magma?
I dunno, maybe the epicenter or the dark sea in general fucks up some magics so much that it mutates into a different form like glass â> obsidian or lightningâ> angy lightning and shit like that

THE MENACES <3333
they are so batshit insane what an incredible duo
I mean, she is pretty shitty with her magic, but yeah, leave it to me to accidentally make contradictory lore to the source material whenever i think i have a cool idea 
never let me cook
keep cooking, as long as you arenât having your oc cooking food you wonât burn down the kitchen
nah we just read too much fucking lore (and barely have lives) 
okay, cooked a bit more
hereâs some design details that helps with making sense of my doodles (subject to change. a lot.)

I guess sheâs not all ears
lowkey her blindfold looks like frozones mask
Iâm lowkey surprised she doesnât always wear the blindfold, considering the sun hurts her eyes.
She tends to use her hair to block out most of the suns rays, or just stays inside or under the water
But she does use the blindfold casually too, i just usually dont depict her with it so i could draw her stupid looking eyes 
i think eventually she just kinda gets used to the bright light, and instead of straining her eyes, she kinda only gets inconvenienced by the blurriness.
The Snek Tails look like snacks that a snake would snack on in the snow while drinking a milkshake.
(Say that 5 times fast I dare you)
im very sorry you have to see me this way, iâll make a horrific abyss sea art topic soon to make up for it
