Because of these quirks, sword sages face a different set of challenges compared to conventional spellcasters. If they can survive an early game with few defensive capabilities and resources, sword sages are capable of dealing extreme amounts of burst damage with their double attack action economy and uninterruptable spells. | Because of these quirks, sword sages face a different set of challenges compared to conventional spellcasters.

However, there are also some limitations on a sword sage's power. For example, evasive enemies may need to be dealt with by more conventional magic, as talismans do not trigger if the physical attack misses. Furthermore, talismans are extremely expensive to use, as memorisation does not increase the number of talismans gained, and hence they should not be used on trivial enemies. Finally, sword sages are unable to sustain their high damage per turn for long as talismans cannot be stacked on a weapon and eventually run out of charges. | However, there are also some limitations on a sword sage's power.

Finally, sword sages are unable to sustain their high damage per turn for long as talismans cannot be stacked on a weapon and eventually run out of charges. While using weapons with save talisman enchantments, such as katana, or having multiple talisman-attached weapons in reserve can extend sword sages' staying power, they must eventually retreat to "reload". | |||
