'''Weapons''' are any items that can be equipped in a character's hands and can be used to do either melee or ranged damage to another target. (This does not include [[Spellbook|spellbooks]], as these do purely magical damage.) Weapons are wielded using either one or two hands. Weapons can possess a wide range of offensive properties, including properties for [[Damage Increase|increasing damage]], [[Swing Speed Increase|increasing the rate of damage]], abilities for leeching [[Hit Life Leech|hit points]] or [[Hit Mana Leech|mana]], casting various spells automatically upon a successful hit, and many more.

==Types of Weapons==
Weapons are usually categorized by what [[Skills|skill]] is required to wield them effectively.

===[[Archery]]===
''See: [[Archery Weapons]]''

Archery weapons feature ranged attacks using expendable ammunition. Some examples are [[Bow|bows]] and [[Crossbow|crossbows]].

===[[Fencing]]===
''See: [[Fencing Weapons]]''

Fencing weapons are generally bladed and are designed to deal quick, stabbing strikes. Some examples are [[Daggers|daggers]] and [[Kryss|krysses]].

===[[Mace Fighting]]===
''See: [[Mace Fighting Weapons]]''

Mace Fighting weapons are bulky objects or staves, sometimes with spiky protuberances, that are designed for bashing opponents and dealing blunt force damage. Some examples are [[Mace|maces]] and [[Quarter Staff|quarter staves]].

===[[Swordsmanship]]===
''See: [[Swordsmanship Weapons]]''

Swordsmanship weapons feature sharp blades and are designed for slashing at opponents. Some examples are [[Katana|katanas]] and [[Viking Sword|viking swords]].

 Many characters without combat abilities will still hold weapons (or spellbooks) to take advantage of their non-offensive bonuses. For example, the [[Scrapper's Compendium]] and the [[Boomstick]] are both favoured by [[Magery|mages]]. For similar reasons, [[shields]] are often used by those without the [[Parrying]] skill (though never in place of a good set of [[armor]]!).
-Each weapon come with two [[Special Moves]] that can be activated using your reserves of [[mana]]. These can be used to deal extra damage, inflict [[debuff]]s on your opponents, or improve your chances of successfully landing a blow.
