This category of devices contains improvements for melee weapons that make them techmaturgical weapons, allowing them to receive techmaturgical modifications according to the space they have, normally defined by the item's level and other factors such as size.

A weapon can be built as a Techmaturgical Armament, when this happens, the Enhancement value is spent normally, but the addition of time in GP/day is reduced by half, as part of the project already thought out for a techmaturgical weapon.

Both normal weapons that are upgraded to enhanced techmaturgical weaponry, and weapons that are already created as techmaturgical Armament can be used normally by people who have proficiency with them but do not have knowledge of technology or techmaturgy, however the absence of this knowledge prevents them from the active properties of an item are used.
