Agreed. I learned a good deal of them during my life time. At least, the ones that existed back then.
[Diarmuid first lived 2000 years ago and while he had to learn most weapons that were common to the area during his time in the Fianna, there are some very glaring gaps in his knowledge as well.]
Those who have both are at a very definite advantage, so I would consider you a lucky man. I have great agility, but strength is something of a weak point for me. At least compared to others of my kind.
[His strength is far above that a normal human would have, but quite lacking when compared to other servants.]
Whenever you feel up to a spar, let me know. I will look forward to it. If you don't mind me asking, do you know someone who handled their power in such a way? It sounds as if you have a lot of experience with the subject. [The question isn't lingered on, though, making it clear that if Vergil doesn't want to answer it, Diarmuid won't press for an answer. Not only does he value control, he knows how important it is not to push too hard for an answer someone doesn't want to give.]
For me, control is especially important because I dual-wield spears. I also dual-wield swords, but the spears are my focus right now. It's not something that many people do because it is very difficult to pull off effectively because it requires great control and focus. [Effectively: as in a way that doesn't result in in maiming or killing themselves instead of their opponent.]
You are welcome here as often as you like, then. I will be glad to have you around. It is not every day that I run into someone who is of such a like mind as myself.
No worries! :-)
