+When actually hitting someone with a weapon though, there are two other factors
+besides the weapon's statistics that matter. First, as was mentioned earlier,
+whether or not you are proficient in that weapon. Second, your skill in
+weaponry. The higher your weaponry skill, the faster you will hit, the more
+damage you will do (up to a certain point), and the more easily you will hit
+someone. An opponent, however, will automatically attempt to dodge your blows,
+with the success rate dependent on your weaponry skill compared to his evasion
+skill.
+Though there are many ways to use a weapon, ranging from slash, to whip, to
+bash, each weapon has only particular methods in which it will be effective.
+You CAN, for instance, whip someone with a sword, but you won't have a very
+good chance of hitting your target, and you will not do much damage if you do
+hit. In order to see the proper commands to use a particular weapon, simply
+PROBE it.
