Demyx, contrary to how lackadaisical he seemed, had been all about raw power in a fight. Granted, he tended to dally about with music, but he also executed exceptionally powerful Water Elemental techniques that consisted of towering columns of water blasting his opponents and blocking their escape routes. Larxene's modus operandi had consisted of hit-and-run strikes and lethal magical outbursts. Neither of them had changed. The only difference was that they were now referred to as 'Mages'.
Marluxia's battle style had been brutal-but-measured and both heavily physical and just magical enough. If none of the others had made any drastic alterations to their fighting preferences, Zexion did not expect that Marluxia had, either. He did not doubt that Marluxia had the ability to both learn and master the ability. He knew that his Chakra reserves were vast but deliberately understated and his control, even from what he had seen thus far, was precise.
"I don't doubt your ability," he said quietly, "but it isn't easy. Demyx and Larxene both opt not to summon their Nobody weapons due to the concentration required to sustain it in battle and the potential drain on their Chakra reserves. They are both magically inclined, unlike Saix. Not all of The Order use the ability, even if they learned it. Luxord didn't trouble himself even to learn the basics."
As with all things, some were better than others. Additionally, it was effective when used in combination with certain fighting styles, but not others. Vexen could summon his Shield and fend off attacks indefinitely while taking remarkably little damage to the weapon. Xaldin tended to use his only against difficult prey during any Mark Hunts he undertook. The ability to remote-control numerous weapons became extremely useful against one large enemy, but was largely pointless when executed against a weak opponent and downright dangerous to his own health when used against a group. Though useful in particular situations, the Whirlwind Lancer consistently found himself unable to recall it once lost. Saix, conversely, had the ability to generate his weapon over and over with only eventual detriment to his power.
"I will teach you the technique," he confirmed, in case Marluxia had reason to doubt him, "but I implore you to use it sparingly. As far as I am aware, Saix alone has been seen producing a weapon in such a way. I don't think anyone related to Clan Khamja has witnessed any of the rest of us doing such a thing. I would prefer to preserve their ignorance for a little longer."
