R2T16: "If you have the magic, genuine sunlight might help!" he calls out hopefully to the party. Marius then heeds Zauberei's advice and only zigs after the spectre as otherwise he would be too close to strike. His polearm turns into a blur as he swings at the spirit. The lucerne hammer, much like Angelo's whip, passes cleanly through the Lopper with no effect.

Marius makes an important martial science discovery today (well, for himself): the etherealness of spirits is not affected by the speed of a weapon, as that maneuver was designed to overcome specialized corporeal, physical defenses of creatures and objects! It doesn't move so quickly as to phase out of reality to strike a ghost.
