Magic: Weapon Arcana

[Strato]

Enchantment / Weapon Arcana

Weapon Arcana deals with forming a manifestation of a weapon with spiritual energy. Due to the weapon's nature as a spiritual manifestation and not a physical one, a character does not necessarily require a Knowledge skill or a weapon proficiency skill to back this up.

When creating weapons using Weapon Arcana, the weapon selected to be created exhibits the passive traits of that weapon type, and for all intents and purposes is matching to that particular weapon type. However, the user does not have access to that weapon's Advanced Skills unless he/she has purchased them as a Weapon Proficiency.

NOTICE: This is no longer the skill used for enchanting. That is now Arcane Science.

====================
WEAPON ARCANA SKILLS
====================

Casting to create an arcane weapon costs the following amount:

Level 1 - 10 MP, +100 damage, +10 to-hit
Level 2 - 40 MP, +200 damage, +12 to-hit
Level 3 - 90 MP, +300 damage, +14 to-hit
Level 4 - 160 MP, +400 damage, +16 to-hit
Level 5 - 250 MP, +500 damage, +18 to-hit
Level 6 - 360 MP, +750 damage, +20 to-hit
Level 7 - 490 MP, +1000 damage, +22 to-hit
Level 8 - 640 MP, +1250 damage, +24 to-hit
Level 9 - 810 MP, +1500 damage, +27 to-hit
Level 10 - 1000 MP, +2000 damage, +30 to-hit

You must have a WA Mage Level to conjure an arcane weapon of that level. Treat its weapon damage as though it were a spell of that level, using WA as the skill base (damage bonuses listed above). If a character has Weapon Proficiency in the weapon type being used, that WP bonus may be added to the caster's rolls in lieu of the Weapon Arcana skill itself, but does not affect its damage. Additionally, if you have the weapon proficiency, you may ise that skill to roll instead.

If you are using a weapon type that is incompatible with one of Weapon Arcana's advanced skills (meaning the advanced skill isn't listed under that weapon type's advanced skills), they still cannot be used in conjunction.
