Light Blades

Light Blades start off rather weak, but have a number of advantages:
 * Most have very low or no stat requirements.
 * Many are off-hand weapons, so they can be dual-wielded with no special skill.
 * There are a variety of weapon types and ranges available, so this one skill can allow a character to perform melee, mid-range, and long-range attacks.
 * Most have multiple attacks per round, so +enhancement stats benefit them fairly well, often allowing them to perform at nearly the level of other weapon types.
 * Furthermore, more attacks per round increase the odds of landing status effects like criticals.
