basic rules.
If [inherit="xxx"] is specified for a weapon then all attributes of "xxx" for which "no-inherit" is not specified are inherited into the new weapon.
If a weapon specifies a value for an attribute then ALL inherited values for that attribute are discarded.
Weapons should alter their fragility based on the the type of thing they are hitting.
Perhaps just alter the fragility of the most prevalent material. IE the metal in a sword becomes more fragile if it hits stone, less if it hits bare skin.

skill defines one way that this weapon can be used. Allowable names are "co.me.*", "co.th.*".
Also defined is the wc (weapon-class).
The wc is an indication of how much damage the weapon can deal in a single hit.
The wc provides a default value for difficulty-to-use, if that is not given.
Also possibly given is "not-in-combat".
All skills that do not specify "not-in-combat" will be used randomly during combat.
Also possibly defined is the difficulty-to-use.
0->100. 0 is anyone can use, 100 is impossible to use by all

a material defines what the item is made of.
The "name" must map to a defined material name in the materials library
The percentage is how much of the weapon is made of this. No checking is expected to be done to
ensure that the percentages total 100. If not specified this defaults to 100.
The material definition will provide default values for durability and fragility.
The durability is how much damage the item can take before it is destroyed or unusable.
For a rule of thumb we will presume that each kilogram of the item will increase the durability by 10
The fragiity is how easy it is to damage the item, 0->10. Use the values below as a base then alter based on
how likely the material is to be damaged when the item is in use.
0 being impossible,
1 being almost impossible - adamtine/magically strengthened materials
2 hard metals/composites
3 chain mail
4 hard woods
5
6 studded leather, soft woods
7 leather
8
9 glass
10 objects made of sand or fluids
By default if a material durability reaches 0 the item is unusable. If all materials reach 0 it is destroyed.
