    That would be a good point if this was an argument, and not just me bellyaching. Also, the supernatural side of anime swordsmen tends to be “They studied the sword so much that they’ve got these expert abilities” rather than “they spent long enough in the library to unlock these techniques”. To my understanding, I’m not a big anime person.

      Nah, a lot of the anime are having their own magic systems - chakra, nen, stands, pacts. It’s common to sometimes make mundane look like supernatural (Demon Slayer), but generally if someone teleports most anime would qualify that as a magic use.

        Yeah, but there’s also plenty of magical martial arts right, like hamon? DnD wizards have a particular flavour of spellcasting (int based, using a spellbook and weird spell components) which doesn’t really fit well with stands or nen, right? Like, performing magic through sheer martial prowess rather than study and arcane research feels like something that DnD doesn’t have much support for.
