Week 2 Challenge

[dmpdesign]

I gotta admit its pretty rough trying to come up with something that actually poses a challenge to this community when related to King's Field :P

So here we go...

How many weapons in King's Field: The Ancient City can cast a special magical ability?

2 points to the winner.

I think I know which weapons fit this description thanks to an old thread by Renwick, but I'll still have to do some counting 

[Guyra]

I think I'm pretty much out of this one, I'm afraid...

Bonus point if you can name the weapons.

Dont forget some weapons don't cast until level 3....

Tick...tock...tick...tock

21?

My guess is 7 weapons have unique weapon-magic, 50 have a generic spell including bare fists for a grand total of 57 different weapons?  I never leveled all the weapons up that far so I'm going from a memory of hearing Renwick say that every melee weapon in the game had a spell at level 3 . . .

You can level up the fist? LOL!!! I need to go try that.

Wow...

well I guess Im going to have to get back to you guys on this one.  I didnt think the generic weapons had spells even at level 3...

So I guess that means Ill have to level something to level 3 other than what I deemed 'special' weapons and see if it works.  If it does, then you get the prize=P

But I thought it far fewer than both your guys answers

OK here is Renwick's knowledge spelled out on Martin's site:
http://www.kings-field.com/tac/magic6.html

So all normal, non-bow weapons can cast magic.

So lets see, peeking through the list I have on my save game - I have 54 here + the hands but I am probably missing a weapon or two, so Ill assume you are quite correct.

Kudos and grats on the points.
