Merlin was good for parlor tricks, at best; a minor cantrip, or two. I break space-time.
mostly, I just love the painting, but like Merlin, I have a fascination with magical swords and ladies that bear them.
my sword is a good one.
Sir Ystin, the Shining Knight, is another story.
and by story, I mean, by Grant Morrison.
