defense bonus, armor piercing, or buying 9-again property. A configuration of two identical weapons
can be purchased for 2m, 1wp and will be balanced to remove off-hand penalty. Having two different
weapons requires summoning to different configurations. A two handed weapon may be summoned that
gives you weaponry score + essence score in points to spend, this weapon can also be pushed to 8-again

that costs the solar their defense still takes all defense, but in a combo with dipping swallow attack
this too can be remedied. This also allows weaponry excellencies to be used if possible.
