What is Cormac's weapon of choice?
Cormac prefers polearms. Usually, a spear, same as his sister, but he's capable of using anything that's basically a staff with extra bits on it. One runs into less problems with Templars, after all, as a polearm-wielding mercenary, than a staff-wielding apostate mage. And he can use those weapons in their intended fashion, rather than just as magical assistance, so he's really quite effective in battle.
