A Weaponsmith trains to gain an iron will and a very critical eye. Weaponsmiths borrow a bit from elemental magic, and a bit from wizardry as well. Weaponsmiths help identify and create legendary weapons. Nearly every community in Barsaive values Weaponsmiths. Important Attributes: Perception and Willpower Racial Restrictions: None Karma Ritual: To perform his Karma ritual, the Weaponsmith beats a thin strip of metal in a hot fire or forge. From this he fashions the metal into a blade, arrowhead, or spear tip, but tempers the metal too soon, making it brittle. He then shatters the defective piece. The ritual ends the instant the piece breaks. Artisan Skills: Runic Carving (Weapon, Armor), Wood Carving
