Grant asked Garon Whited:

What would have happened to Erik if Aramon tested with his blessed sword? It's supposed to test the evil in mens hearts so evil people will be cut like a regular sword, those that are of lesser character will feel soul rending agony but suffer no wound, and good men will be untouched. Erik's a hero, but because of WHAT he is he does a lot of questionable things. Where does he fall?

Garon Whited Since Aramon hasn't yet stuck Eric with the sword, the answer is <spoiler> left as an exercise in philosophy to the reader... at least for now. Unless Eric encounters Aramon again, WE MAY NEVER KNOW! BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!</spoiler>
