    First, this was exactly what my daughters needed to shake themselves out of a grumpy morning, so thank you for sharing this

    Second, here are the Objectively Correct Answers, in order of correctness:

    • Wind shield: Blocking and deflecting blows isn't cool. You know what's cool? Sending your stupid assailant flying backwards complete with ragdoll physics. Most importantly, you can flip your wind shield over and use it as a hoverboard.
    • Thunder bow: Lightning is awesome as long as it's sufficiently far away from you. Making lightning strike wherever an arrow can reach? Super impressive and solves many potential problems before they become actual, in-your-face problems.
    • Earth knuckles: When you punch someone in the face, do you want to zap them? Freeze them? Make them damp? No. You want to punch someone in the face with the power of a falling boulder. You want to hear that "earth cracking" sound effect.
    • Fire whip: You're the person at the party with the devil sticks. You're the person who holds a pose just a hair too long when entering a room. You were born to wield the fire whip.
    • Ice spear: We're doing crowd control here. We're freezing our enemies before they can close in on us. We're surrounding ourselves with statues of things that wish us harm.
    • Poison claws: The only unanimous decision in our family. (We have two cats.)
    • Nature axe: Creation and destruction. It's, like, a metaphor, man.
    • Darkness dagger: Daggers are all about being sneaky. In and out, quick stabby murder before anyone notices. What's better than a little extra cover of darkness for this?
    • Light sword: Skyward Sword was an underrated game.
    • Water hammer: You've used everything else, now it's time to go back through one last time and do a non-lethal run. Hits like a giant wet sponge.

      i would only switch to water whip (firefighting) and fire hammer (can be used for smithing)
