The Pen Is Mightier	comment	You know, they weren't joking when they said the pen was mightier than the sword. Or the pencil. Or the paintbrush. In the proper hands any writing tool can become a truly deadly weapon, and earns extra badass points for the user at the same time—especially if used against an opponent with one of those piddling "real" weapons. Typically, the writing tool will be used as a stabbing weapon, aimed for the head, throat, or chest. Occasionally it may be used as a throwing weapon. The pen or pencil may be used for more than just stabbing however; for example, an inkpen may be used to spray ink in the face of an attacker. Paint brushes being used to write spells and curses on opponents are common in eastern works; most popular depictions of this are derived from a Chinese folktale about a boy who could bring paintings to life when he signed them. An evil emperor would force the boy to draw him vast riches and he would instead conjure a dragon or tsunami to kill the emperor, depending on the telling. Bonus points if, after the pen is used, someone makes a snarky comment on the pen's superiority. A subtrope of Improvised Weapon. May be used by an Improbable Weapon User, a Combat Pragmatist, an Art Attacker or a Mad Artist. Easily confused with something Sean Connery has been searching all his life for. Not to be confused with The Power of Language, which covers figurative uses of this phrase. Has nothing to do with a certain body part. Compare Once Killed a Man with a Noodle Implement.

So far, he's used it to "draw" barriers and to block a Monster of the Week's petrification beam. And to draw Santa's sled during the Christmas Episode.

It's surprisingly effective compared to the local ninjas and pirates, who use actual swords. In World 4 he upgrades to a fountain pen, which refills by killing ink monsters or standing on ink fountains and allow him to shoot a damaging stream of ink. Fancy Pants is a playable character in the game Newgrounds Rumble, where he has his pencil as his weapon of choice.

The Pen Is Mightier / int_27b0262b	comment	MythBusters had to put Q of James Bond fame (see above) to the test. They loaded up a few pens with explosives. A conventional pen proved surprisingly lethal, creating a hole roughly twice the size of a fist in a dummy, but did not work as it did in the film. The team then tried a fairly large pen such as the type companies give as swag with their logos. It removed a dummy's arms and upper torso. James Hyneman then loaded up an absurdly large novelty pen - the kind over a foot long and several inches in circumference - with explosives. The results were predictable.

In addition, there is a Lethal Joke Weapon called a Quill Pen, in which, as a Dagger-type weapon, is strong against swords and katanas. This could be a possible reference to the old saying "A pen is mightier than a sword".

It is a weaponized scholar's brush in an Asian-themed setting, where any person of refinement or education is expected to know some calligraphy. It's really not a great weapon mechanically aside from being easily concealed, but it can kill and be enchanted, plus a clever player can certainly find uses for a weapon which allows them to appear to be an unarmed scholar or aristocrat.

The improbability of this is lampshaded by Abram in John Wick: Chapter 2 ("A pencil. How the fuck do you do that?!"), and later in the film, John kills two assassins with a pencil when they attack him for the seven million dollar bounty on him posted by Santino. Notably, the pencil killing is one of the most gruesome ones shown on-screen, with John pinning one assassin's head against a bartop and then driving the pencil through his ear canal like a railway spike. With the second one, he holds the pencil against a wall and slams the back of the assassin's head against it.

Hannah gets backed up against her desk and is able to grab a pencil and drive it through Thierry's hand; she threatens to shove the next pencil through his heart. As Hannah realizes, pencils are actually more effective weapons against vampires than you'd think because they're made of wood, which is toxic to vampires if it gets into their bloodstream; wounds inflicted by wood take much longer for them to heal despite their Healing Factor.

Later on, during his trial, when, after Gaeta perjures himself on the stand, Baltar says (or more accurately, screams), "The whole fleet knows this man tried to stab me through the neck — and you missed! Butterfingers!" This is played with later, when in the fourth-act scene after Gaeta stabs Baltar, he asks someone for a pen. It's believed that after the incident with Baltar, Gaeta has been forbidden to carry pens on his person. Battlestar likes this trope. During The Mutiny Arc, Romo Lampkin stabs a marine with a pen. The first thing he does after that? He reclaims the sunglasses that the marine took from him and refers to the now-dead marine as his "pen-pal".
