Well, You see, I am making a hold and I'm making scripting in it. I want to try and make a character with a sword with the end, but a custom character holding it. Is this legal, because I am kind-of combining custom characters with Caravel game's graphics?

That's a really interesting question actually.

I don't know the answer but I would think that if you overlay the new character and keep the original sword, that could be seen as infringement of some sort.

Let's see what the copyright experts say

As far as I know what you're trying to do is perfectly legal. You may replace any graphics you like, be it fully or partially, as long as you hold the copyrights on the replacement graphics. You may not use graphics owned by Caravel to replace anything else in the game, because you'd extract and reuse copyrighted content. However, leaving the default graphics unmodded—like keeping the swords while changing the character tiles—is ok.

Excellent! Well, I'm now trying to make a more simpler hold (without scripting) But I hope this information will be of use to other people.
