Exactly, I have a Wolf Shaman with a predisposition towards
edged weapons. One of his centering skill is called Blade
Dancing. In effect, it is a specialization of his armed/edged
skill. In combat, it is useless, however, to see this guy
twirling 2 swords around while performing a minor acrobatic
routine is somewhat intimidating, especially when he lets
loose with a powerblast right after it...
