 Besides hitting in melee, wielding has (at least) the following effects.  (See the bolded link for details.)
 * Wielding a '''[[launcher]]''' (any bow; crossbow; sling) allows you to throw matching [[projectile]]s (arrows; crossbow bolts; rocks or gems or gray stones) much more effectively.

 Monsters also wield weapons before using them.  This takes time for them.  This may help you identify that a weapon is cursed, because if you see a monster wield it, you get a message.
