Usually for a misspelling style joke in a comic, the artist will write the "misspelled" word and allow the reader to assume they misspelled it. Like here, it would say "summons a grate warrior", and on reading it, the readers think, "They misspelled great", and then the punchline is that it wasn't misspelled.

But they did not use that spelling, obviously on purpose. So, I think the obvious interpretation is that this summon is actually a great warrior, and they just happen to also be a grate warrior.

Somehow this makes me more confused whether the spelling of sworn instead of swords was intentional or not.

Got it, now that makes sense, somehow.

After reading the entirety of the sword comics, I can assure you that if it was actually spelled "grate" I would have assumed it was literal.

Although it also could not be narrator talk, but in universe folklore where word of mouth could have easily messed up the two

That’s a pretty cheesy pun you made there.

I thought it was a lemon...like he would scratch people then spread his juice over it. I'm tired

I’m not tired and I thought that as well.

Who grates a whole round of cheese?

Best helper in the game. It literally cheats to win. Cheesing it up.
