Weapons are the source of any warrior's power, that doesn't use their hands or feet in combat. Without a sword, a swordsman wouldn't be a true swordsman, and without a gun, a gunner wouldn't be a true gunner. On this forum, weapons can have attack power, and attacking with the weapon itself is possible, but having the weapon equipped can give the carrier. A boost in their dice or hurt the dice of their opponent. Weapons are pretty straight-forward and don't require much to use and master, but there are some things that must be learned. For one thing, weapons, like anything else on the forum, use dice. The effect of a weapon may or may not take a dice, and using the weapon to attack or use some other special ability may require a dice so keep this in mind. Also, weapons can transform and any different forms a weapon may have will not count towards the slot limit, but instead it will require a Tsukara cost. Below are some examples of weapons and how they affect the opponent.

Acidic X Sword: This weapon, while equipped, decreases the dice roll of the opponent by 1 and increases the dice roll of the user by 2 whenever the user is using the venom element and is rolling an attack dice.

-You can see from above how the weapon affects the user as well as the person fighting against them, specifically, the target of the user's attacks. Weapon benefits don't need to be that low and don't have to be extremely high. The lower ones or mid numbered ones would be best to try and get approved because the cost for it, if it has one, may be less. If the benefits are too high, your weapon WON'T get approved so I would advise you to not try.
