HOLD HELD

Used to place an item in the 'held' location, and/or to hold a light source.
Mages & necromancers must hold their spellbooks/staffs in order to cast
spells.
Other classes may wish to hold a second weapon.  Not all weapons are holdable,
though, and your strength and the DUAL WIELD skill limits how 'heavy' a weapon
you can hold.
