Now, Over my days as an addon dev, i've seen many weapon mods, from HaxTheCharizard's Tinkerer's Legacy, to TrueCowboy's True Weaponry, and so much more. However, I have a decent gripe with these mods:

They Just don't have a lot of different weaponry! 

However, with Kinesis: Ancient Armory, i've brought to you (yes, YOU, dear reader) a unique addon, which combines unique weapon mechanics, Unique weapon types, and all the little bonuses wrapped in a little bow. But now, I'll actually get into the mod!

MELEE WEAPONS

As of release, there is 7 Planned melee weapon types, with their origins spanning from the Mayan People, to Native American Tribes, To Roman Armies, and so many more! 

Origin - Traces to Native American Tribes

Ranged Weapons

Now, we can't just look at the amazing melee weapons, we also gotta look at the ranged weapons too! There is only a few, however...

SHORTBOW

Origins - Paleolithic era people would use a bow, paired with arrows tipped with stone, to hunt for food and other resources.

Uses - Bow.

Damage - Varies, can be more or less than a regular bow

Ability - The Shortbow only takes Stone tipped arrows (made with an arrowhead (Carved out of a stone button in a stonecutter), a stick and a feather), which deals lower base damage, but deals better crit damage.

WONDER WEAPONS

Now, i thought to myself during development, "what could I add to make this mod stand out? To be more... unique?" And then I realized 2 things:

1 - why am I talking to myself, that's weird.

2 - I could add unique, "rare" weapons

So I decided that, instead of dwelling on why I was talking to myself, I would make WONDER WEAPONS! Now, what are wonder weapons? Well, they are weapons that are not only buffed variants of the aforementioned weapons, but each wonder weapon can be found with a unqiue ability!

Plated Duality

Original Weapon - Seax Knife

Damage - 7 Damage

Ability - On a hit, you have the chance to deal magic damage to your target, which will do MASSIVE damage!
