How words are described
Both words in one sentence
- To wit: Try playing beyond level 95 as any melee class without getting a pair of claws or daggers and the ability to punch 5 times per second (nigh-impossible to do without a huge amount of cash-shopping, or purchasing the items from those who do), and see just how valuable you are.

Source: Beam Me Up Scotty / Literature - To wit, he has his trusty TNT, can make it RAIN ANVILS, has a Falcon Punch, and in the origin comic, he has Super Speed, can throw an ACME bomb that's actually a smoke bomb, and can pull a giant mallet-style hammer out of nowhere.
