wield

Hold a weapon ready.

Usage:
  wield <weapon>
  wield <weapon> offhand

Melee weapons hit harder the more Body you have; ranged ones the more
Reflex. Wielding something new puts away what you had.

One-handed weapons are quicker; two-handed ones are slower but hit much
harder, and take both hands. With a one-handed weapon your off hand is
free: wield a second one-handed weapon there (wield <weapon> offhand)
and it swings too, on its own timer, for half damage and a little less
accuracy. Or hold an off-hand item there, like a shield (wear it).
Wielding a two-handed weapon puts away whatever's in your off hand.

Examples:
  wield combat knife
  wield 9mm pistol
  wield switchblade offhand
