Laq's "Mystical Waif(u)" Edges

Weaponry: Easy edge for Elodie. The one big thing the Levin Sword has going for it is its lightning powers, but even that won't be enough. Elodie could block it, and even if it does hit her (unlikely since she'll definitely see it coming), her magical resistance will tank most of it, so it's not a game-changer. The Light Sword on the other hand, has a lot of things going for it. It can always be re-summoned, so Elodie will never be without a weapon, and its incredible sharpness means it should be able to destroy the silver sword, and maybe even the Levin Sword as well. All that magic stuff aside, it seems like Elodie is the superior swordswoman, with all her feats of defeating trained soldiers in swordfights, which is even more impressive when you remember that Elodie is a skinny 14-year-old. Finally, there's the scepter, which lets Elodie focus her magic into some pretty powerful beams that Robin likely can't block, while Robin's only other weapon is the previously mentioned silver sword, which isn't anything special and is made of a very poor choice of material. Massive Edge: Elodie

Magic: Robin seems to have the more powerful offensive magic at first glance, with all of her fire, ice, wind, lightning, and the especially powerful Rexcalibur (what), but it has one major problem that Elodie doesn't: Robin's spells have limited charges. She can only carry so many tomes, and once she's out, that's it. Elodie's offensive spells are less flashy, but she won't run out of them, and the fact that they're based on light means that, while they won't hit as hard as Robin's, they'll be much harder to evade or block. Speaking of evading and blocking, Elodie has much more defensive options that Robin. She can blind Robin to make her miss her attacks, straight-up disappear, and her illusions are the icing on the cake. Robin's spells are powerful, and if she can land one or two of the more powerful ones on Elodie quickly, the fight'll be over. But Elodie has many options for evading and blocking these spells that it just won't happen. Robin's a cannon of magic, but she's also made of glass, and has limited ammunition to boot. Elodie has neither of those faults. Edge: Elodie

X-Factors and Conclusion: Robin's dead, simple as that. Robin's a good strategist, and is more experience, but Elodie is just as well read, and her magical repertoire is perfectly to designed to take down a glass cannon like Robin. Her defensive abilities are really what give her the win; she's too hard for Robin to hit, while Elodie will wear down Robin with burns and cuts until she cracks, or runs out of charges. Winner: Elodie!
