The protection is not unbeatable. I believe Saradomin himself says we're not quite out of their reach. A small force push is possible.
I don't have a problem with the Wand being teleported into his hands. (though maybe he should've done that against Lens** directly)
However, I don't like how vague our weakness to Saradomin is. If Saradomin can have his way with us once, who's to say another god can't force us to obey them in the same way? It reduces our God power immunity to only being active when it's convenient for the plot. And there's no way to predict when this will happen, which is essential information when deciding which god to ally with and which god to confront.
Imo, a more concise definition for our powers is that any force a god applies against an object or person, whether directly or indirectly, gets infused with god energy, and that any god energy used against us instantly dissipates upon making contact with our bodies (or armour).
However, even when this happens, an attack partially caused by non-divine means, such as a falling rock or a pointy needle, can still hurt us. Just without the extra damage from the god-energy.
So, I believe the player could've tanked Saradomin's blow and that flinching because of it ruins the whole point.
In this case, I'll make it my headcanon that Saradomin, being the "Lord of Light", simply blinded us with sudden illumination, and snagged away the wand while we were off guard.
BTW, is god energy the same as divine energy? If so, does that mean that if someone tried weaponizing it, a la the Scarecrow or Divine Focus, we'd be immune to it? What about augmented weapons? I can't train invention yet so correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they powered by divine energy? The legendary creators have been long gone from this world. When they return, they'll be surprised and angered of their creations' new sapience. Meanwhile, the world's most elite, summoned to be its guardians, have abandoned their purpose and intend to plunge the world into chaos. -- Bionicle or RS?
