Weapons
- Weapons include all items designed to be wielded
- You must have a weapon in hand and be actively using it to use its magical abilities
Most weapons are magic items designed to be held in the hand and wielded, presented or used. Weapons and implements are the most common weapons, but this type also covers icons, ritual staves and musical instruments.
Paired weapons and arcane weapons are a single magic item that consists of two one-handed weapons or a one-handed weapon and an implement respectively. They are intended to be used together, and count as a single object for purposes of bonding.
A ritual staff is designed to be used by a ritualist during the performance of a ritual. It must be a phys-rep of a staff that is over 42” long and up to 84” long. It does not need to be a weapon safe implement and you do not need the battle mage skill to bond to or use one of these items. You do need the battle mage skill to bond to and use a regular magical staff.
Icons and musical instruments are magic items designed to be held in the hands that are used by a character with the dedication skill. The phys-rep for a musical instrument must be a musical instrument more complex than a triangle, and it must be played by the character bonded to it as part of the appropriate roleplaying used to activate its powers. An icon must be a phys-rep of a piece of religious imagery appropriate to the Way - ideally including an image of a paragon or exemplar. In both cases, there is no minimum size for the phys-rep but they must be wielded to be used. That is, they must be held in one hand that is not being used to hold anything else for as long as it takes to use them. A magical icon or musical instrument may not be used as a weapon or implement, even if they are weapon safe.
