Editing Spear

The '''Spear''' is a mid-range melee weapon.

== Overview ==
Spears are a favoured weapon of [[Drakes|Drake]] militaries, as it goes well with their regimented formations, and they are famous for their spearwalls. Drakes soldiers can execute spear charges within their own formations, called cascading spear lines.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/22/9-66/ Chapter 9.66]</ref>

One of the highest related class is [Spearmaster]. This class has a minimal requirement of level 30,<ref>{{VERef|10.36 - Pt. 2}}</ref> and is achieved by defeating or killing a [Spearmaster], or being certified as one, such as by a [[Walled Cities|Walled City]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-83/ Chapter 8.83]</ref> There may be a hundred [Spearmasters] on [[Izril]]. Achieving the rank of [Spearmaster] is actually but the first step of a journey.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/09/17/9-59-o/ Chapter 9.59 O]</ref> Beyond [Spearmaster], a true master of the spear similar to a gold-bell [Fencer] is said to have a different class.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/16/interlude-senior-guardsman-relc/ Interlude - Senior Guardsman Relc]</ref> The [Spearmaster] class seems to be appended with a title after a colon.<ref>{{VERef|Halfseekers (Pt. 8) – Interlude}}</ref>
