Draft:Magic Castle GBC:Weapon

Weapons (Japanese: 兵器) are the most vital items in in Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer GB2: Magic Castle of the Desert. While it's possible to get a way with fists alone, the right weapon can turn the dangerous later floors into a breeze.

All weapons have a basic damage value (Str), a current damage bonus (+X) as well a maximum possible bonus (Max). Reading an Air Bless Scroll or visiting one of the Blacksmiths will increase the current bonus (up to Max), while Rust Traps and some Monsters can reduce it (down to -Str). Rarely a scroll or Blacksmith will add +3 Str to your weapon. Some weapons have intrinsic special abilities (melds), from turning monsters into meat, to critical hits, to digging, to something as simple as increased damage vs. certain types of monsters. Using a Melding Jar, all of those abilities can be melded into a single blade, a vital key to creating a powerful weapon.
