Wield

The "Wield" Item Tag is used by the Melee Weapon, Ranged Weapon, and many tools.

As a Free Action, you can pull a Wield Item from your pack or pick up an unattended Wield Item in Swinging Distance(1u). Such an Item is considered Wielded and its effects apply to the Ability and all Abilities that follow. If you were already Wielding an Item, it will be immediately stowed in your pack or dropped (your choice) and all its effects will end. You can also choose to stow a Wielded Item as an Action or drop it as a Free Action, both of which also end the Item's effects.

An Item that has been Wielded can be forcibly removed from your hands if you are Disarmed.

If a Wielded Item leaves your hands, by choice or by force, and the Item was involved in an Ability, the Ability and its effects immediately end. If the Ability Test had not yet occurred, it is considered an immediate Failure.
