WIELD ARM

Use this command to place a weapon in your hands, which will greatly
increase your chances of success in combat.

Whether a weapon needs one hand or two depends on its WEIGHT against
three things about you:

    your STRength
  + your SIZE          (your race -- a pixie is 5, a giant 18)
  + twice your RANK    in that weapon's skill (rank caps at 15)

If the weapon weighs more than that total, you will need both hands for
it. Training the weapon is the part you control: every rank is worth two
more stones of one-handed weapon.

Usage: wield <object>
