There's this town with two blacksmiths - one, a swordsmaker and the other, a shield maker. The swordsmaker's swords can slice through anything as a rule and the other guy's shields cannot be destroyed. Now they get cut up with each other for some reason and pit their wares against each other. What do you expect happens?

(In reply to The Sword by Eric)

I agree with this. For the law of matter states that nothing can be created or destroyed. The sword can cut through anything and thus can, as eric said, cut through the shield dividing it in half, but the shield has not necessarily been destroyed, but altered.
This is a matter of perspective. It is based on how you interpret the word destroyed.
