	While the common name for such people implies an affinity toward using a sword, Spellswords are not limited to any particular weapon, and it is a common thing to find all sorts of weapons in the hands of Spellswords. Whether a Spellsword uses a sword of some variety, a staff, mace, dagger or any other sort of melee weapon tends to be a matter of personal preference. The choice of melee weapon is unimportant.~~<br />~~		While the common name for such people implies an affinity toward using a sword, Spellswords are not limited to any particular weapon, and it is a common thing to find all sorts of weapons in the hands of Spellswords.

	Through practice and training, a Spellsword learns to imbue his weapon with magical energies. This is different than a spell that temporarily enhances a weapon in that the energies flow from the Spellsword and permeate the weapon.
