Enhanced Swordsmanship

The general capability to be highly skilled in wielding any blade.

Capability
An incredibly skilled swordsman uses a blade, knife or dagger in battle. Capable of demolishing buildings, stopping bullets, or dicing enemies with a single slice users are able to do much more than simply swinging a bit of steel. A qualified user operates with little or no effort, taking advantage of weak points. This ability works with nearly anything long light and thin, a skilled user could make a pencil, broom handle, riding crop, or perhaps even a feather deadly.

Limitations

 * Accelerated Regeneration would limit this skill's usefulness.
 * Slicing through solid objects (Bricks, Metals, Lava etc.) would destroy most conventional weaponry (non-enchanted steel weapons, etc.) and the usefulness of this ability.

Associations
Users may often have Enhanced Reflexes, Enhanced Dexterity, Enhanced Combat, or Enhanced Strength. This ability may also be a partial power derived from Metal Manipulation, Weapon Manipulation, or Precognition.
