use, either dual cutting, dual blunt, two-handed, or sword and shield.


== Dual cutting ==
Knights share many chivalry-derived abilities through [[Discipline]], [[Dominion]], [[Malignity]] and [[Valour]] though each also have their own unique skill; Infernals command the dark art of [[Oppression]], Paladins wield the holy power of [[Excision]], Runewardens possess the mystical talent of [[Runelore]], and Unamables employ the otherworldly forces of [[Anathema (skill)|Anathema]].


Proficient in the use of two cutting weapons, knights with this specialisation

|required=
|target=
|cooldown=
|detail=The decision to specialise in a specific school of weaponry shall dictate the rest of your growth as a knight. You shall learn abilities specific to your chosen school as you progress further in weaponmastery.<p>The different schools are:</p>'''Two handed:''' a style which focuses on single, powerful blows with warhammers and bastard swords.<br>'''Sword and shield:''' a style that focuses on combination attacks, balancing offense and defence.<br>'''Dual cutting:''' a style that focuses on wielding two bladed weapons simultaneously. Typically based around swifter strikes to overwhelm opponents.<br>'''Dual blunt:''' a style that focuses on wielding two blunt weapons simultaneously, and generating momentum to unleash exceptionally damaging strikes against an opponent.<p>Note: you may switch your specialisation, but it shall cost you 100 lessons each time that you do so (outside of your initial selection).</p>

|required=
|target=Adventurers
|cooldown=Balance cost varies based on weapon speed
|detail=You may now expend your momentum upon a limb while striking at the limbs
of your target to produce various effects. This will require momentum
and reset the momentum decay timer. The results are different depending
on if you are using a flail or a morningstar.
 
Morningstars:
 
When expending in a strike to the head, your opponent will be stunned
and have their vision restored. If they are already unblind and are also
prone, they will receive a skull fracture.
 
When expending in a strike to the torso, you will drive the air from
your target's lungs, cancelling any aura of rebounding that they may
have begun establishing about their person, and numbing them into
paralysis. If they are already paralysed, you will crack their ribs.
 
When expending in a strike to the left arm, you will make them unable to
parry effectively for a short time and afflict your opponent with
clumsiness. If they are already clumsy, you will fracture their wrist.
 
When expending in a strike to the right arm, they will find themselves
unable to utilise tattoos effectively for a time and will be afflicted
with weariness. If they were already weary, you will crack their wrist.
 
Finally, when expending in a strike to either leg, your target will be
knocked to the ground and become lethargic.
 
Flails:
 
When expending in a strike to the head, your target will be afflicted
with healthleech. If they already have healthleech and are prone, you
will fracture their skull.
 
When expending to the torso, you will drive the breath from their lungs
and afflict them with asthma. If they are already asthmatic, you will
crack their ribs.
 
When expending to either arm, you will cause their skin to become bloody
and raw, afflicting them with darkshade. If they are already suffering
from this affliction, you will fracture their wrist.
 
When expending to either leg, you will cause them to become clumsy. If
they are already clumsy, they will be knocked off balance for a short
while.
 
* All expends cost 1 momentum, except expend legs with a morningstar
which costs 3.
** All non-fracture based afflictions from flail expends relapse a short
while after they are first given, striking for a second time.
