Magic Weapons will work as accordingly
Magic Weapons
Magic weapons will modify the spell based on the weapon used. For example, a Magic sword (Possible Oath Replacement for AO) will turn blasts into slashes of that particular magic, and for self explosions will perform a magic Great Slash applying if the damage enough is done that magics effect and bleed.
Another possible Item is a Magic Axe as a replacement for Vasteria (Refurbished so it can fit in lore-wise with the Mino finding the axe). It will perform if attached to a self explosion spell it will do a smash attack unleashing a larger self explosion and is throwable doing better damage than a single blast and applying the effect if the damage is done.
These skills will be modified for the magic weapon used in combat.
