It should technically be possible, but by bullets you mean what is used in guns, right? I'm not sure if they could handle the sorts of enchantments needed to add magic to a weapon.

[Filtered because he's being a little paranoid]

[goldenglasses]

Yes, I mean a gun. Is it because it's a machine that it wouldn't be able to handle the magic?

I don't think it is quite that. Basically the part that actually hits the target is what would need to be enchanted. From what I have seen of such weapons, that isn't very large is it?

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

No, bullets aren't very large. They're usually smaller than a finger.

And often the enchantments on a sword take up the vast majority of the blade. That is what would make it difficult.

I didn't think about that. To be honest I had a feeling it couldn't be done, but how dangerous would it be to try?

[oracleofdeath]

The main danger I see in even trying it is that it won't work and you will be in a bad situation. Is it possible a bullet that does not work could do anything to your gun and injure you that way?

[goldenglasses]

If it jammed it could end badly, but that would be an extreme situation. I'd imagine if it cause the bullet to not work it would be more like a dud. Where it just wouldn't fire.

That is my thought also, unless someone did a really bad job with the enchantment. Usually what is done there is that the words of a spell would be carved into the item to make a more lasting magic. Sometimes the magic is also just interwoven into the item as it is being made.

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

So... it could possibly be done then. Hm.

[Filtered]

[oracleofdeath]

It is definitely possible in theory, it is just a matter of if it can be done in practice. The two things often aren't the same thing.

[Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

Do you know any of the words I could try to carve into the bullets?

[Filtered]

[oracleofdeath]

At least in my world, magic tends to not be written in the same way that normal words are. Other worlds may have the same thing.

I could try it, but I would like to know what you plan on using this for before I agree to attempt it.

[As you're a friend of the Straw Hat's and kept an eye on their place with Aku threatened it, he'll be honest with you.] I want to be able to defend myself against Aku. Right now my bullets don't work against him.

[Private]

[oracleofdeath]

I will see what I can do. I only really know the basic principles behind it; I haven't actually tried it out on any weapon.

I ask in return that you do your utmost to ensure none of those hit me.

...are holy bullets more dangerous than regular bullets to you? Would it be dangerous for you to try it?
