	When a Warrior trains in the '''Weapon Bonding''' feat, there is no immediate benefit. The bonding process requires extensive use of the weapon; the effects do not appear immediately upon learning the skill. Instead, the number of ranks the warrior has gained in '''Bonding''' acts as a ceiling to the available benefits.

The bonding process requires extensive use of the weapon; the effects do not appear immediately upon learning the skill. Instead, the number of ranks the warrior has gained in '''Bonding''' acts as a ceiling to the available benefits.

			====Breaking a Bond ====
			In order for a warrior to break a bond with a weapon, the warrior only need to initiate the bond with another weapon. Both weapons will report as bonded, until the old weapon is swung at a creature and the bonding status will be removed in the recall.

KOOLED: Currently some bonding flares, are not suppressed when using MSTRIKE/Berserking. This was tested on Rank 5 flares (double attack) and only with MSTRIKE. I do not know if the other bonding flares currently work with mstrike/berserking. I also do not know if the other suppression effects such as CMANs/1718 now allow flares or not.
