My knowledge tends to fantasy books and videogames, so I'm not much of an "expert" in anything here. I can give mechanics on how weapons work given a brief description, and can give a little bit on how it can effect a (normal) human beings psychologically, but that's about it. I'd be good with advice on ancient weapons, but I'll give what I think is the best way to use it, not how the culture actually did.

If you really need some advice on magic systems, all I need is a brief explanaition of how it works to tell you if it is a viable battle technique and/or if the media is pulling things out of its a-- to beef up the protagonist *cough* Eragon *cough*
