The Kraet Style Polearm Weapon is a scripted polearm associated with the Half-krolvin hailing from the Isle of Kraet. It debuted in 2021 alongside the Kraet Style One-Handed Weapon and Kraet Helm at Duskruin, which was later joined by the Kraet Style Bow. It has been sold in Kraet Lengths. It was created by GM Thandiwe and GM Valyrka.

In addition to having fluff verb traps, they have fluff messaging when changing stance. STANCE VERBOSE must be active in order for the stance messaging to display.

Analyze

You take a closer look at a copper-inlaid vultite lancea wrapped with leather.
You analyze the vultite lancea and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Welcome to Kraet Style, the Polearm Weapons Edition.

Lancea:  Used both for throwing and melee, the lancea is a type of short javelin favored by many Kraet.  The main grip is often paired with additional strips of leather along the haft, allowing the wielder to gain purchase wherever they choose to grip, and the javelin's head is exceptionally sharp.

Now that you know a little bit about your vultite lancea and its history, here are some useful tips for using it.
The lancea is verbose in its movements in your hand, meaning you'll want to have STANCE VERBOSE active when using it.  It also has access the the following verbs:
 Pull, Push, Spin, Tap

Alteration Instructions:  The lancea must maintain its nouns and conform to the spirit of its design as outlined above.

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