Mage Weapon
Mage Weapon is an Item Property that converts a sorcerer's Magery skill into the weapon's Required Skill, subject to any listed penalty. By way of example, a Mace with the item property of -22 Mage Weapon would allow a legendary sorcerer to wield it as if he or she had a Mace Fighting skill of 98. The penalty range runs from -25 to -0.
Mage weapons are not immune to unequipping the Right and Left Hand equipment slots upon spell casting. However, the item property combination of Mage Weapon and Spell Channeling allows a sorcerer to become a pure Mage-Warrior who can cast spells while engaged in direct melee/archery combat.
