Went on a crazy ride finding a definitive answer. Just counting the metal parts, zero calories... But Its possible the leather wrap on the handle could add up to 400
Yeah, I mean, considering that those really look more like dirks or something, if it was real swords with leather-covered handles, my instinct is that #1: 400 calories would be more than one sword and #2: you would be dead before you could expend those calories. Did your research confirm that? I may need to take that research ride too.
Ooh... very good point! And the caloric value would depend on the quality of the sword's overall craftsmanship. It is more likely that a fine swordsman for the king and his retainers would use a quality leather that would be well-oiled and certainly more supple, which would mean there is a direct correlation between the quality of the sword and its caloric value.
Well, I mean, that was kind of my point, I guess. Steel is clearly not digestible, but as the other commenter indicated, the leather on the hilts would be... sorta. And if we are talking logic here, is that a giant's stomach, or are those tiny swords? Aren't there other names for tiny swords? Like, dagger?
The more I look at this image, the more I'm just shaking my damn head.
You have to make sure you get the whole-grain existential horror: that refined horror stuff they are selling to kids these days is just empty calories.

I don't feel like the swords picture is accurate... that looks like way more than 400 calories worth of swords...

Leather is all over the place when it comes to calories.

IDK, how are we counting? Digestible calories? I don't think you are getting much energy from any amount of swords that you can fit in your stomach.

Its amount generated after touching antimatter
The stomach is extremely small

I'll stick to the oil, thanks. Maybe the chicken. Anything bigger and it just slides out that side hole! Talk about wasted calories.

Eat enough cheese and nothing will just slide out of that hole.

I find existential horror just doesn't fill me up. If anything, it makes me want to eat more.

The Sword Eating Magician is an outlier and should not be counted.
