While most elementalists do not use weapons, most other warriors do. An elementalist may also wish to carry a weapon for various reasons. Below is the information on weapon types within the game.

\\
====Weapon qualities====

**Name**: A weapon has a name for its type and may also have a unique name as well

**Cost**: The cost of purchasing an average weapon of this type

**Damage Type**: A weapon may either be melee or ranged. It also fits into one or more of the damage categories [[damage|here]]

**Range**: This is the minimum and/or maximum range that you can hit with the weapon, in terms of 5 foot hexes. Long range weapons have [[combat#range increments]], short ranged weapons and melee weapons do not

**Durability**: How many [[damage#hit points]] the weapon has

\\
====Special weapons====
The weapons listed in the [[weapons#weapon table]] below are of average quality. They are sturdy and will not break unless put under abnormal duress. Their quality makes them usable but does not confer any special benefit. Weapons made by master weapon-smiths have a much higher level of quality, making the weapon feel light in the hand which gives the user an advantage when using them. Weapons crafted by masters of the trade, or "Master Quality Weapons", confer a bonus to the damage formula

Weapons can also be made with rare and expensive materials that are well suited to making weapons, which confers a bonus to the damage formula. Examples would be a sword made with rare metals, an axe made from meteorite, a quarterstaff made from a rare wood, or a bow stringed with eltu hair

Weapons that stand the test of time without ever letting down their heroic wielders can become the objects of legend, gaining a spirit of their own, a commanding presence on the battlefield. This confers a bonus to the damage formulas, and the weapon is considered unbreakable. Legendary weapons are by default master quality weapons

Weapons with special qualities are also more durable than their ordinary counterparts. These weapons gain a bonus to their item hit points, which makes them harder to break when they are targeted by attacks, such as the [[combat maneuvers#Sunder]] maneuver, or if they are subjected to large forces by other means, such as being crushed by a falling boulder

^Weapon Property^Additional Damage^Additional Cost^
|Master quality|+1|Add 100 gold to the base price of the weapon|
|Rare materials|+2|Add 200 gold to the base price of the weapon|
|Legendary Weapon|+1d6|If available for sale, cost varies|

\\
==== Elemental weapons ====
Elementalists may wish to wield a weapon made of their element instead of a normal weapon. Elemental weapons can take the form of any melee or short ranged weapon from the tables above, except that they are made an element to which the user can bind their ki, including air. You may levitate the weapon and manipulate it as you would your element. In order to do this the binder must invest points in the talent below. This talent is available to any character that has at least one level in an elemental class. The weapon requires a swift action to create and requires that you have enough element on hand

\\
=== Elemental weapon ===
**Action**: Standard, Full (1|2)\\
**Requires**: No requirements\\
**Description**: You train in the use of a melee weapon, except that your weapon is constructed of your element\\
**Range**: Determined by the weapon\\
**Effect**: Choose a melee weapon. You replace the basic attack with this talent\\
**Offensive**: //Attack Bonus + Dex + 3d6//\\
**Defensive**: //Defense Bonus + Dex + 3d6//\\
**Damage**: Strength x 2 + 2d6, Damage type determined by the weapon or element at your option\\
**Cooldown**: 3 rounds\\
**Special**: You may create that weapon type as a Swift action out of your element. Attacking with a standard action grants one attack which does not invoke the cooldown. Attacking with a full action grants two attacks which can be used in the same segment or separate segments. Attacking with two attacks invokes the cooldown, which only applies to using a full action\\
//When taking this talent, assign it to one of your classes. You may only use talent points from that class to improve this attack//\\
**Talent Point Improvements**:\\
□ Increase the [[dice bonus]] of the offensive and defensive formulas by 1d6\\
□ Increase the [[dice bonus]] of the damage formula by 1d6\\
□ Reduce the cooldown by 1 round. Minimum cooldown is 1 round\\
□ You become proficient with and able to create an additional melee or short ranged weapon type\\

\\
==== Singing weapons ====
Some weapons are designed so that as they are moved through the air they create special tones. Anyone may use these weapons and produce the tones. Depending on the weapon, it can be designed to produce different tones depending on how the weapon is moved, though this is usually limited

The exception is with aeromancers. Singing weapons which are designed to be used by aeromancers can produce an impressive range of tones. A character may use a [[wiki:perform|Perform]] check to use these weapons as instruments or to produce tones while fighting

Any weapon may be made into a singing weapon

\\
==== Mist weapons ====
Mist weapons are specific to hydromancers, gaining their name from the trails of mist and fog they leave in their wake. A hydromancer must have the Vaporize talent in order to perform this effect. In addition to leaving behind a trail of fog, these weapons may be levitated and controlled using a binding, provided that there is sufficient water for the overall weight. When used in this way, the hydromancer may substitute water blast for the weapon's standard attack, and the weapon retains any properties which it normally conveys

Any weapon may be made into a mist weapon
