 === Carving a stave ===
 To carve a stave, [[apply]] any [[weapon]] that uses the [[knife]] or [[dagger]] [[skill]]s. You will then be prompted to select the stave you wish to carve (or told that you don't know any staves). Next you will be prompted to select a wooden weapon to carve it into (or told that you don't have anything suitable for carving). If you choose to re-carve a weapon that already has a stave, you will chip off the existing stave before carving the new one. This process damages the weapon, and adds a turn to the time required to carve the stave.
