And a wand isn’t a weapon, just a tool

Technically power rings and lightsabers aren’t magical, but point taken.

Not to further nitpick, but wasn’t Green Lantern’s power-ring initially described as “magic”? They later defined its source as science-based along Clarkean lines (“Any sufficiently-advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”), but that wouldn’t have been the case with Golden Age GL, right? (I could very well be mistaken; I’ve always been a Marvel guy.)

Ralston’s lucky Cap didn’t take Elmer Fudd’s speaw and magic helmet (“Speaw and magic helmet?” “SPEAW AND MAGIC HELMET!!!”). They’re the only weapons that have proven effective for killing wabbits.

fritzoid: you’re right, the Golden Age Green Lantern’s power ring was based on magic (carved from a magic meteorite). The Silver Age GL (Hal Jordan) had a science based power ring. (VERY much like Kimball Kinnison’s Lens in E.E Smith’s Lensman series.)
