Wield
From MUME
When you get tired of bashing monsters with your fists, you might consider wielding a weapon.
Example: wield sword
Be careful about wielding weapons in a town if you're not a citizen!
Some weapons can be wielded one or two handed. Wield it as normal, and then type "wield 2" to grasp it in two hands, or "wield 1" to hold it in one hand.
