Blademastery

Syntax
STRIKE <target> [LEFT|RIGHT] [<bodypart>] [<modifier> [<modifier args>]]

As a Blademaster, your skill with one-handed swords is such that you now attack even faster. Additionally, as you train in the Blademastery skill, you will learn to apply modifiers to your strikes, which increase the effectiveness of your attacks even further.

Modifiers do not work with daggers, but do work with shortswords.
