Two of Swords
The Two of Swords symbolizes diplomacy, neutrality, and the challenges of indecision. Depicted as a blindfolded woman with two swords, she embodies a diplomatic approach to conflict, comparable to the statue of Justice. However, her novice status suggests a struggle to balance competing factors, highlighting the need for mastery to achieve effective decision-making.

Description
The Two of Swords features a blindfolded woman surrounded by the sea at twilight. Passively wielding two silver swords, the character appears in a neutral stance before the viewer. Likened to the statue of Justice, the woman does not cast prejudice but instead takes a diplomatic approach to conflict.
Novice Status
However, upon closer inspection, the woman appears to be more of a novice compared to the statue of Justice, as the former has yet to solidify her diplomacy skills. Following my experiences in the practice and study of martial arts, I have often observed new students being capable of wielding one sword with proficiency.
Challenges of Multiplicity
However, once another sword is added to their non-dominant hand, a dramatic decrease in both offensive and defensive performance occurs. It would appear that multiple weapons should improve effectiveness, but in the hands of an apprentice, the multitude becomes a hindrance. There is a level of mastery required to obtain ambidexterity in all things.
