The Combat Maneuver Weapon Bonding adds +2 to Attack Strength (AS) and bonuses to CML attack/defensive strength when using the weapon chosen to bond with. The AS bonus stacks with that granted by Specialization.

To choose the weapon, you need to be holding your desired weapon type, visit a holy shrine, and PRAY. The bonding process requires extensive use of the weapon; the effects do not appear immediately upon learning the skill.

In addition to the AS and other bonuses, the skill also enables a series of special 'effect' abilities (one is added at each rank). Attempting to switch to a specific effect can tell you what level of bond you have actually achieved.

Typing CMAN BOND will give the user various information.
