Whats cute is you skitting around the rest of what is said. We are not talking about Baslisk Venom. We are talking about a Magically imbued sword that just happened to have absored the Strength from Basalisk Vemon. Never did anyone say the Sword has Basalisk vemon on it or dispenses it.
You and Quanchi know how I am. I will go with facts presented by each area wether I agree with you or not. Sometimes I disagree heavily with Quanchi and sometimes I agree with him. This just happens to be one of the times I agree.
A Third party could sit outside of this and say that is impossible to tell if it could or not because it is impossible to compare the power of the LotR verse against the HP Verse.
But if you simply compare everything then it makes it simpler. In LotR the One Ring is played up because it was what the story was made around. In HP the Horcruxes were Downplayed because there was more then one of them. That does not mean that one is more powerful then the other. They are both seen as and item connected to its respective villian. Both items can bring back said person. Both items are known to project thoughts and feelings through touch of an outside party. I do not see anythign else on either side. So if the SoG is able to destroy the one in HP Verse then why not the one in LotR verse?
