: Yes, the Eblis Stone paralyzed Balor. But when he was
: paralyzed he couldn't block, couldn't dodge, couldn't
: cast defensive spells (or, perhaps, even maintain the
: ones he had going). So it effectively decreased his
: defense. If Soulblighter was placed into
: "stasis" in the same manner, his defense
: would also drop.
: And, overall, Soulblighter's vulnerable to swords and
: arrows. That he's immune in "Twice Born" is
: obviously a gameplay consideration: when you've got so
: many units, it'd be too easy to trap him somewhere and
: kill him without Alric, derailing the script. Where
: there's no danger of that, in "A Murder of
: Crows," he's made vulnerable.
: His killfield in the Forge is an impressive spell, but
: Alric easily reaches through it, cancels his spell to
: destroy Tharsis, and shatters the rock beneath his
: feet. With Balor, on the other hand, it took all of
: Alric's strength plus the Eblis Stone just to hold
: Balor still so someone else could kill him.

I think that if Alric used Eblis Stone he couldn't kill SB, because in Myth II we use only Spells and artifacts to kill him. We never use arrows and normal swords. So, Alric and Deceiver used only spells and artifacts that can make him damage. I don't think that Alric and Deceiver were fools. I don't think that they used his powers and great artifacts and spells, if they could kill him with normal swords. I don't think that Alric will used Balmung if he could kill him with his normal sword!!!
