You are probably very correct, however the manipulation/processing of the
"monoline" via refinement or "cleansing" type procedures should
suffice enough
to function in a magical enchanting process. Additionally, please note that
the end of the monowhip requires a countersinc/weight, in order to obtain
function, destructive, velocity. IMO, the very end of the monowhip probably
has a weight, and additional razoring/edges in order to keep that tip
functional. In any case, the end of the overall object could also contain a
unit of orichalcum in it's creation, with the handle containing the
"gravitating end" of the orichalcum (I'd say gr***ding, but people would get
mad), and the line in between functioning in a physical sense as the "astral
conduit" between the ends, through which the handle of the device itself is
the grip, which gives it the connection to a living, magical, weidler with a
willpower to direct it's magical energies into alignment/syncronicity of that
of the physical weapon.
