The Adamantine Rapier

It's still got to start from somewhere beyond inanimate matter.

What you want to wave has to have something to do with what you want to get out of it. You're going to need to pit itty-bitty little tiny bits of technology onto those things. As established in the setting, all that'll you've done there will give you is a really funky mix of handwavium.... not a bucket full of nano's.

Just think. The worst episodes of Star Trek were the ones where they handwaved away the problem with technobabble, right? Well, handwavium exists to make a plot or concept work.... it doesn't exist to completely dissolve the plot entirely. Overrusing the stuff just ruins the story.

And you're still missing an interesting core concept that makes your character worth reading about. Handwavium enables the concept.... but it's not *the* concept. Without a concept to back up the handwaved power..... you're just grabbing power for power's sake. There're plenty of characters who can get by without having the power to break the setting.
