Mêlée weapons

I do not have a "hobby" of sorts as I am unable to enjoy things since my raising, yet this seems the right place to adress this. For me there is only my work, and with my work come my weapons. My rune weapon is a claidheamh mòr which The Master had claimed from a Scottish nobleman. During the centuries I have collected many weapons, and have learned to forge them myself. Unfortunately they have significantly lost use over the centuries, and everyone uses firearms now.

Do any of you have knowledge about projectileless weapons, either their use or their forging?

Well, this is only a rumor, but I hear there are people out there with the power to harm others by shouting insults and obscenities. People like Germano Mosconi and James Rolfe, AKA the Angry Video Game Nerd. The former uses mainly blasphemy while the latter is fond of sexual and scatological expletives.

well that may actually be a mild variation of tantric magic. they're using their channeling their emotions in a very literal way, making the term vitriol very literal.

Going to have to rearm myself AGAIN. What is it with me and losing melee weapons?

Make a soulbound weapon. More difficult to lose.

Not the spell called blasphemy. He shouts blasphemies. As in, he insults deities.

I don't even know what a soulbound weapon is, and it sounds vaguely like a bad ideas for reasons I can't quite figure out.

Oh! I can field that question!

Soul bound weapons are weapons that are magically crafted from or with a bit of your 'essense', making them an intrinsic part of yourself. You control them completely, and quite a few simply will fade away if you don't keep a grip on them.

Tl;dr

An artificial natural weapon.

I think this process can occur naturally for some by simply infusing their 'spirit' or 'mana' into their weapons as they use them. At least that's what a monk I knew once told me. It's part of how the Japanese sword often becomes soul bound, though the process takes a bit longer and it's more of 'part of the whole family' thing.

It is infusing a weapon with your soul. You could do this with nearly any object, for example I have seen a bed that its owner had bound his soul to in order to obtain complete clarity of mind when sleeping in it. Only when you do this to a weapon you can create a soulbound weapon.

I know of certain schools of combat magic use comparable techniques.
