Analyze

You analyze your sharp vultite sabre and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "There do not seem to be any specific limitations."

The creator has also provided the following information:
A certain amount of Two Weapon Combat ranks are required for all the verbs available on this sharp vultite sabre.
This sharp vultite sabre is fully unlocked and works with all the following verbs:
  1 to 19 ranks    : COVER, PUSH, TAP
  20 to 49 ranks   : RAISE, DIP, WAVE
  50+ ranks        : TURN, TWIST, BOW


You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the sharp vultite sabre for you.
