Jason also goes out of his way to limit the electrical conductivity of his static electricity arcs before he destroys Polybotes' basilisks underwater (in order to avoid electrocuting Percy). Therefore, the laws of science, more specifically that relating to electrical conductivity still do apply in the world of the Heroes of Olympus. yes but percy is a better swordsman. His style is so flexible, he could easily change tactics mid battle and catch Jason off guard Percy may or may not be. It was mentioned in the Mark Of Athena during the fight with the pirates that Percy had gained a lot of powers during the years, unfortunately it did not include sword-fighting, which could mean that Percy had gotten weaker on his sword-fighting skills.
