Fairies using crucible

So I tried softly introducing one of these fairies into one of my roleplay sessions. A knight was carrying a jar with a captured one, and when he got ambushed in the dark, he let it loose and covered his visor as well as blanketing himself under his cloak. The little devil slit many people open before they could even realize what was happening. The other roleplayers looked at me with legitimate fear in their eyes. "Why would you bring something so horrifying into this roleplay?" Best reactions ever

I wonder how they'd handle a fairy assassin. Honestly I don't buy fairies with huge swords because it'd be hard to balance ( just like humans with huge swords, the center of gravity would be a difficult issue to deal with, and flying with something that affects the balance that much would be even harder). However, a super-fast, tiny, flying assassin with a thin "rapier" coated in poison could slip easily past any guards, through any defenses, place one fatal stab and be gone before the target even starts to realize something's wrong. A fairy could have a hit count in the hundreds before anyone even knew the deaths weren't natural.

It has to do with mass and perception. Bugs and insects perceive time much slower than humans do. So while their ability to react is slow, their ability to see an attack before it even happens is very high. Its why ants can sometimes quickly crawl into a crack before a human foot comes down. Its also why a frog's tongue needs to be lightning quick, so that even if the bug sees it coming they can't do much to avoid it.

Devian stretched his arms as he walked through the the corridors of his palace. He stopped at an open window, leaning on the wall next to it and looking out at the gardens. A servant girl tending to the flowers saw him. He smiled. She quickly averted her eyes and returned to her work. Nobody else seem to have been in sight. He closed his eyes, inhaling flower aromas. Then, a sudden sound, like a tiny bell ringing, right in front of his face. Devian snapped his eyes open, only to see a flurry of motion right in front of him, accompanied by by more tiny bells. He took a step back, but a moment later it was all over. He looked around frantically and finally saw the source of commotion. A black-clothed fairy was pinned down to the floor by to of his kin wearing royal uniforms. Razor-thin blade lay snapped in two next to them. It must have been as long as Devian's arm and it must have been that blade clashing against guard's swords that made the bell sounds. "My lord", he heard a voice of the Spymaster in his head "Are you unhurt?". Devian looked to his left - a fairy in an ornate officer uniform hovered in the window frame. "No, I'm fine, Sahatoros". The fairy bowed his head apologetically. "I beg your pardon, my lord. We were almost too late. Another moment, and..." The fairy shook his head. "I already told you that we absolutely must install fairy meshes on all windows! Will this finally convince you, my lord?" Devian looked at the tiny assassin again. He was already bound by two guards and on his knees, his spectral wings tied just as his arms. "I thought I was paying you and your fairies so that I wouldn't have to worry about your kin attacking me. Meshes, wind-blowers, fire curtains and other gimmicks are not cheap, you know!" "But my lord's life is even more valuable, is it not?", the spymaster said as he slowly flew down to the attacker and his men. "Fine. Fine. But if I'll ever be in such a danger again, it's your head! Yours and your people's. We have no shortage of fairy mercenaries after all."

A better substitute would be Silicate crystals like Quarts, Citrine and Amethysts that have a 7 on the Moh's Scale and an Absolute Hardness of 100 and a little harder than glass. (No to rose quartz as most of them have fragile inclusions that easily chips off which to us jewellers is a nightmare to shape) Plus it could have some flavor and these crystals are common. Or perhaps Corundums like rubies or sapphires? But the maximum capacity is obviously a diamond. However it's hard to find diamond crystals that big naturally.

I'm so glad I found this video, my current D&D character is a Pixie that my DM and I home-brewed. Most certainly my most fun character ever created!

The same cube squared law that makes fairies strong is also what makes flight possible. Giving them a relatively heavy weapon like you described would remove their flight advantage. Also holding a big long sword out front would through off their weight and balance (something else essential to flight) causing them to pitch forward. However, since only the tip of the rapier is being used there is a lighter weapon that would be effective in the same kind of attack; a sarisa pike. It would have the same or greater length but mostly be made of wood instead of metal except for the tip saving weight. It could also be held by the center of the shaft removing the weight and balance problem.

So fairies use their agility and giant razor blade swords... So They're from Attack on Titan?

About the "needle-like weapon through the eye"-idea: I don't think a creature of such low weight could penetrate the back of the eyeball and reach the brain, as the eyeball itself is pretty though. You could always increase the speed of flight for the fairies, but that would also increase the danger to their own bodies.

Disney's fairies can't fly when wet, making rain the single most unfavorable condition for them to fight in. I'd imagine fire might keep them at bay, but they'd be able to fly above you and wait, with the updraft reducing how much energy they expend and helping them outlast your torches. If your torches go out, best hope it's because of rain.

That's some very interesting Ideas we have here, but there is one thing that concerns me. Even though fairy could handle weapon that is "so big", wouldn't this type of weapon affect their ability to fly? That could be a problem. And that's why poison would be a good pick for a fairy. A needle-sized rapier may be not impressive, or deadly, but if that rapier is covered by deadly poison? Another thing is that fairy doesn't really need to use rapier. They can use spears with their heads covered in poison, and it would be as deadly as rapier, but with more range. And imagine being attacked by a swarm of fairies armed with poisonus weapons. Comparison to swarm of hornets is not even close to what fairies could do with the right poison.

Pk, I just stopped the viedeo for a second in "Would they be dangerous?" One word: POISON. After the video: Oh, yeah, razor blades double their size is more epic.

Don't forget, that a fairy probably never fight alone... Coupled with hit'n'run tactics and the horror of any army, foolish enough to cross their lands, is born. Just think about it: One moment there is peace, next dozens of deadly butterflies come and leave behind a heap of cut open persons, left to bleed out. And if a camp is raided in the dark... who is left to scream?

I'm a big fan of your work Shad, thanks for making fun and informative content like this!

When Shad mentioned that he’d thought of a weapon meant for a fairy the first weapon I thought of would have been an obsidian type weapon that takes advantage of obsidian’s extremely sharp edge. I didn’t think about the weight ratios so a full fairy-sized sword as long as they are tall made from a single piece of knapped obsidian would be absolutely devastating assuming the fairy can keep the edge aligned

Humans are skilled at adapting, my friend. If we fought fairies on the regular, our helmets would probably incorporate glass or optimally, clear plastic (if ignoring the medieval setting) visors instead of the real-world eye slits. The problem then would be breathing, so maybe mesh chain over the mouth and nose areas. This would be over the breathing holes shown in the picture you offered, of course. Also, the most effective weapon against them would really be a baseball bat or similar bludgeoning weapon. They're small, so their bones would be more easily broken, and their insect wings would be very fragile. Also, fairies being as small as they are, you could defend against multiple hostiles at once.

Comment supporting the name.

Sure, square-cube, but they're also light flying creatures without the ground to brace themselves against. They're like small birds and I think they would have trouble piercing or cutting that deeply, since they can't put much weight behind a blow. There's no point in having a long weapon since they will be close no matter what. A hooked razor blade sickle, like a bird's talon, would be best. They could easily drive the point of the sickle into their enemy's skin at an artery, then do the damage as they tear it out, cutting through the artery. They could also use it for long slashes as they fly by. Another point is that small creatures move their limbs a lot faster than large ones, so they would strike and strike and strike many times before you could react.

“Tiny balls of unstoppable death” Shad- 2018

The issue I see with them using very long weapons (proportionally) is it would somewhat negate their biggest strength (being hard to hit). I think a long weapon would just pose an unnecessary risk of them getting disarmed or the weapon snapping/bending plus it would reduce the rigidity which they would need considering their lack of mass/power. There is bone behind the eyes too which I doubt a fairy would have the power to thrust through. At 10m/s and 10th human scale you'd be looking at about a 20th of the kinetic energy of an arrow from a 40lb bow. There is a small gap which the optic nerve goes through but hitting it would be like trying to thrust a rapier through a 2 inch moving target protected by an 2ft sphere of opaque ballistics gel. It would most definitely blind you but I think getting through to the brain would be a lot harder than you think. Even if it did go in to the brain it's no guarantee of instant death, it would be a very tiny area damaged due to how thin the blade needs to be and people can sometimes survive surprising amounts of brain damage, look up Phineas Gage as an extreme example. If they survived the fairy would be extremely vulnerable while trying to withdraw the blade (unless they left it there and immediately switched weapon). I think the fairies should make peace with the fact they probably aren't going to get a one hit kill and use a "death by 1000 cuts" strategy. The kinetic energy from flying would be an order of magnitude greater than the force they could produce from swinging a weapon so a long cutting weapon would be wasted so I think they'd be better off relying on momentum combined with slicing movements.

@JimGiant

No doubt but the penetrating that deep would make it quite difficult to withdraw the blade so they'd likely be swatted in the process. A long blade would make the fairy much easier to intercepted before they got close enough to do it and you don't need a long blade to blind someone anyway.

First, I want to say, I did enjoy this video, but it did make me think... A lot. The one problem I saw with the long weapon idea is how it would pose a problem with balance (It's not necessarily an idea negating problem, just one that might alter fighting style to some degree). Sure, they might be able to pick up the weapon just fine thanks to the square-cube law, but metals are quite heavy, and actually holding the weapon out can pose a big problem towards maintaining balance. It might be manageable on the ground, but in the air, their movement would likely be hindered somewhat due to counteracting forces (gravity ↓. lift ↑). The blade or needle would likely have to be held downward and under (or near under) the center of lift in order for them to maintain speed or mobility. How the weapon is held would effect the speed and trajectory of the wielder in flight; assuming that the downward force produced by the wings is mostly perpendicular to the body while idle, and can be adjusted for forward movement just as the angle of the body changes depending on counteracting forces caused by their movement. The way I see it, this limits them to thrusting and stabbing attacks. Holding the weapon upwards and close to the core of the body might be useful in initiating a diving maneuver. Holding the weapon out above the shoulder line might then be used to guide them through the dive, with the dive becoming more steep the closer the weapon is being held perpendicular to the body. Holding the weapon down below the waist while moving slowly or hovering would be good for maintaining slow movement, or their hovering. If they want to speed up and move forward Holding the weapon downward and diagonally closer while flying forward, such that the body is more or less horizontal in the air, would be good for maintaining high velocity, or accelerating, but only when needing to close distance between them and a far away opponent. Similarly, holding the weapon closer to the legs while moving at high velocities would help them climb, as torque is being applied behind the center of mass and the center of lift. Anyways, I think you get the point. The problem I see with cutting or slicing (if there's a difference at all) is in positioning the blade in preparation for the arm's motion, which might bring the blade to cross paths with the wings. The last thing they need is a shredded or missing pterostigma. That would send them spiraling out of control pretty quickly. Otherwise, they also lack strength and the mass to make a deep cut. Now if they're using a wide blade, as suggested in the video (that razor blade thing), then there's another problem. The long, wide blade would act more as an air surface due to its lower aspect ratio. To keep a high speed and maintain a proper heading, it would almost always be required to be held to one's side. It would be incredibly difficult to position the blade to make a good cut. Also, I just wanted to say that simply because something has a sharp edge doesn't make it sink through the flesh easily; an error somewhat implied in the video around 13:14 . I've had pretty hard times cutting through a cat's pelt with new scalpel blades. Velocity, mass, and blade thickness must all be considered; with more mass lowering downward acceleration of the blade as it is slowed down by friction as it cuts. I'll let this one slide though, as I think the mass of the fairy (on the larger end of the standard size scale) combined with the mass of the blade, when travelling at high speeds would be comparable to having an X-acto knife thrown at you. On another note, I know standard fairies are supposed to be super maneuverable and quick, but I just can't really imagine it. In my eyes fairies, angels, or any other 6 limbed, winged humanoid all normally share one problem (that is only negated if the wings aren't actually used for traditional, propelled flight. Gliding doesn't count). Ignoring the wing ratio needed to maintain them and the energy needs, most of the time, the wings are slapped onto their backs, and they still have those regular human shoulders and arms getting in the way. The problem is, if the body is held horizontal to or diagonally (such that their feet are behind them) to the ground, then it is physically impossible for them to complete full wing rotation; being limited to only about half the full motion. They can do about half the downstroke, and half the energy conserving upstroke. Their flight is severely impeded by their own physiology. Actually, the more I think about it, fairies are a lot less guilty of that, given the types of wings they have (much more flexible and easy to change from a downstroke position to an upstroke position & vice versa). Not to mention their small bodies require a lot less downward force to keep them in the air.
