Weapons are items you can equip to your fighters to help assist you on offense in combat. There are 45 weapon classes and each type has it's own unique traits. Weapons can also have enchantments on them which give additional bonuses such as increased damage, stuns or haste.

Enchants[]

Many weapons can be enchanted with Elemental Magic. The element a weapon is enchanted with modifies its Base Stats and provides additional (and even cumulative) bonuses. Some weapons like wands, Spell books, and flasks, are always enchanted. Weapons with enchantments have an additional Resist check while making Combat Rolls. For instance, a Fiery Great sword might have a harder time dealing damage to a Fire Golem, but it would have a significant advantage against a Frost Giant.

Fire +5% Damage
Frost Stuns on Critical Hits (+1 turn)
Holy Typically on healing weapons (but not always)
