So if Loki can do that, he can go there with a sob story about being banished from Asgard for killing his younger self and yeah, it's totally the old Loki in there again, he may be able to swing it... for a while, at least. Also, when Thor broke Gram, we see a lot of energy being released, it's possible that may have reversed the no-lying thing, at least partly, if it was the Truth Wave that did it in the first place. He hasn't said a whole lot since Gram got broken, so...
But yeah, likely will have to get physical at some point. So gianting up in issue 13. Also, while he does like to rely on his wits and/or magic most of the time, he is a skilled fighter. it hasn't been on display much recently, but he is. He can do this.
