Warriors have the ability to expend their Mana to perform intricate maneuvers with their weapons to devastating effect. Each weapon type in the game has a unique combination of a primary and a secondary special move. The first (primary) special move can be executed by ‘Expert’ warriors, ie those with 70 skill.
