The '''{{tt|WIELD}} [[page type is::command]]''' works much like a [[Get command]] with the following benefits: |

''You see'': You draw out your <weapon> from the <container>, gripping it firmly in your right hand and balancing with your left.<br /> |
|||
* The system searches for the weapon if no container is designated beginning with weapon containers before general purpose containers |

|||
| ⚫ | |||
* The system will return the weapon to the container it was removed from when the [[Sheath command]] is used |
