I understand better now. Let's see how I articulate it. "You want a
ten-dragon spear? OK, we play it like a finely-made pike with a funny

finely-made pikes.

Understood. It is a bit unreasonable, in my experience with weapons, to
expect that some weapon is so unusual as to be completely unusable by
someone who knows how to use weapons.
