Fantasy martial art that incorporates magic the way Krav Maga incorporates guns

Master Chieve
I am admittedly not a KM expert but like

Master Chieve
My understanding is that the gimmick of KM is making your blocks and strikes into one motion

Master Chieve
So you don’t block and then counter you do each with one hand

Master Chieve
So I’m picturing a spellcaster who has like a sword in one hand and casts shitty quick spells with the other

Master Chieve
A firebolt you cast with a quarter second of concentration won’t go more than two feet before falling apart

Master Chieve
But if you’re doing it mid parry you don’t NEED to go any further than that because the guy is already right there

ѕαмѕα
and this is why bladesingers are awesome


Master Chieve
They attack you and suddenly they’re on fire

: yea there’s a number of arcane melee fighters that kinda hit this idea

Master Chieve
I’ve just always liked the idea of a melee fighter who dabbles with magic, but I always thought of them as two separate tools in their repertoire that fit different tactical situations

Master Chieve
You fight a guy with your sword, then if an archer or something shows up you bust out your magic to take them out from a distance

Master Chieve
But the idea of actually specifically training to incorporate the magic into your mundane fighting skills is a new and exciting idea to me
