Description:
Precision allows you to specify the damage type of a
weapon (crushing, slashing, or puncture) when used in
combat. Up to 30 weapon types can be specified, and your
preference will be stored and automatic, can also be cleared
or reset. At one rank, your preference will be used 75%
of the time, else the weapon has its normal damage chances.
At two ranks, the weapon will always deliver your preferred
type of damage. Precision does not function with aimed
(ambush) or ranged attacks.

Stamina Cost:
Base 8. Additional stamina costs are determined by the Base Weapon Speed of your attack. For weapons with a base speed of 5 or less, a stamina penalty of +2 per second of base speed is applied. For weapons with a base speed greater than 5, an escalating penalty of an additional +1 stamina per second over 5 seconds is applied. This additional +1 stamina penalty is applied on top of whatever the previous second's stamina penalty is. For two weapon combat, an effective Base Weapon Speed is calculated by taking the primary weapon's base speed, adding half the secondary weapon's base speed (rounded up), and adding 1 to the result. The minimum stamina cost is 8 and the maximum is 25.

Description:
Adds +2 to Attack Strength (AS) and bonuses to CML
attack/defensive strength when using the bonded weapon.
To bond with a weapon, you must first venture to a holy
shrine to establish a spiritual connection between yourself
and your weapon. Once connected, your weapon will become
increasingly able to be bonded with as you use it in
combat. You can learn Weapon Bonding at anytime once
you have the necessary prerequisite in Weapon Specialization.
However, you will not begin to derive benefit from your
ranks until you and your weapon have sufficiently bonded
in combat.
At each rank, your weapon gains a special ability that
will randomly activate in combat:
Rank 1
An attack that cannot be outright
blocked or parried.
Rank 2
An attack that does extra damage upon a successful
hit.
Rank 3
An attack that is harder to defend against.
Rank 4
An attack that is quicker than normal.
Rank 5
An attack that strikes your opponent twice.
Upon mastery, your weapon will also gain the ability
to attempt to return to your hand if it disarmed or
hurled.
