The magic overrided Kal-el's bioaura and then the blade with WW's strength is able to slice Supes.
That's it.
It makes sense. The magic allows it to even cut, but the sharpness is what makes it cut so easily. No force at all was applied and it cut a much more invulnerable and stronger Superman than Present day clark.

You're not thinking it through.
The sword was created by a magical being to be sharp enough to cut shave an electron off an atom.
It was founded in magic, but science is where the edge comes from.
Electrons and atoms weren't seen in the myths, were they?
Like Cap Marvel.
A guy who's magically empowered, but strong enough to go toe to toe with Superman with the power magic gives his muscles.

Ok a few things....
1.Equus ? Is he the Silver guy in For Tommorow ? Employed mercenary , executes a dictator esq regime which Supes tries to stop but fails ?*
2. Wonder-womans sword is Magically forged and thus Magically sharp . The electron thing is just a scientific way of explaining it's capabilities.
* Sorry ,I only bought my Copy of Superman Legends yesterday, I haven't really delved into it yet.

AHAH! 😄 I knew there was a reason why his claws were able do to that. Thanks Galvaclaw. 👆

Depends on the translation. I've encountered references to Zeus reducing object to atoms.
The Greeks would certainly have had a concept of a point of irreducibility since they're the ones that came up with it. The word atom is even taken from the Greek for indivisible. Their philosiphers even used the word atom to refer to the tiniest pieces of matter possible.

Once again, a MAGIC SWORD cutting Superman, goes nowhere towards knocking at his durability level.
I'm not knocking his durability level.
I'm just saying that he can be hurt by things not magic or k-nite.
DD pierced his skin in hunter prey with pure power, which is the same thing as a scream that blows the electrons off your atoms.
And i guess we'll agree to disagree.
Mjnollir hurts superman because it's a magical hammer, or a magical hammer thats indestructible?
The debate continues.
I for one, do think that if BB screamed in a comic, the resulting scene would be a wastland were the heroes were no longer anything but atoms.
I highly doubt writers stack up and weigh feats the way we do.

Magical Hammer, Uru is far from indestructible.

I kind of see what UniOmni is saying.If Shazam makes me a cup of Kool Aid it's not magical Kool Aid simply because he made it, he'd have to actually enchant it.
Did Haphaestus actually enchant the blade, or did he simply forge it to be sharp enough to slice atoms? There is a difference.
the sword is magic, it's been proven a few times. If it wasn't magic, it wouldn't have gotten past Superman's bio-aura.
Uru is far from indestructible, but Mjolnir has an ass load of enchantments on it.

"For one thing, we found out that now Superman’s skin is totally invulnerable, at least according to DC Comics."
"You know, Superman’s skin is invulnerable. It can’t break.’ When we said it broke in the comics, they said ‘Well, that was ten years ago."

Was it ever actually shown or stated on panel that Haphaestus enchanted the blade, or is it just assumed so because it injured Superman and he has a weakness to magic?
Just trying to clarify.
And Uru is nothing special without enchantments.
Adamantite, on the other hand...

But other things that weren't magical have gotten past his aura.
It's inconsistent man.
And what proof has risen?
