Background and production
Mighty Magiswords is created by Kyle Carrozza, an animator, voice actor, musician and storyboard artist who currently writes songs for The FuMP and was previously the creator, storyboard artist and voice actor for his short "MooBeard: The Cow Pirate" on Nicktoons Network series, Random! Cartoons. Produced in Flash animation, this series is the first original cartoon show on Cartoon Network made specifically for online. These characters were created by Kyle when he was at high school in 1996 and was pitched to Cartoon Network in 2005-2006 under the names "Legendary Warriors for Hire" and to Mondo Media in 2007-2008 as "Dungeons and Dayjobs" before Cartoon Network picked it up in 2013. Most of the series is done in-house at Cartoon Network Studios while the overseas mid-production was done at Malaysian animation studio, Inspidea.
Magiswords
A Magisword is a sword that contains a specific magical ability based on its design. There are many magiswords scattered across the land and Vambre and Prohyas go around to collect them, while also using magiswords they previously collected. Magiswords can also be bought at the Mount Ma'all in Ralpho's House of Swords, others are one-of-a-kind that can be found in certain areas of the Rhyboflaven kingdom. Some magiswords are also living entities that can speak human language or get sick, such as Zombie Pumpkin Magisword and Dolphin Magisword.
