Combat Socks: 'seemingly innocuous / appear normal' vs 'highly-dangerous weapon'
x_p5_217 conflictb12a describes Combat Socks as 'seemingly innocuous things' that 'appear to be normal socks', while b12b describes them as a 'Highly-dangerous weapon used exclusively by Sock-Scallywags', presenting contradictory characterisations of their apparent danger.
Evidence
| f_b12a_104: b12a glossary describes Combat Socks as seemingly innocuous and appearing normal | These seemingly innocuous things appear to be normal socks. But when thrown during combat can knock out an opponent. They don't actually hurt when they hit you, but seem to make your muscles go slack. So if you get hit by a bunch of them, you simply slump to the ground. | b12a:c99:p263 |
| f_b12b_073: b12b glossary describes Combat Socks as a highly-dangerous weapon | Highly-dangerous weapon used exclusively by Sock-Scallywags. | b12b:c99:p218 |
extraction note b12a emphasises that Combat Socks look normal and are innocuous in appearance, while b12b leads with them being 'highly-dangerous'. These are not strictly mutually exclusive (a thing can appear normal yet be dangerous), but the direct contradiction between 'seemingly innocuous / appear to be normal socks' and 'highly-dangerous weapon' is a notable tonal and descriptive conflict across the two volumes.
