If your weapon is made of metal, you must either have a Blacksmith's Forge or have access to one before you can start crafting. It goes without saying that you cannot use multiple types of metals in one weapon.

Note: Due to its weakness, gold cannot be used entirely as a weapons material. However, you may elect to plate your weapon with gold.

They were not designed to kill but rather to distract, harass, scare and deliver poison. This is the weapon that gave ninjas the reputation for being able to attack with "a wave of their hand".
