You may also wield a summoned weapon and gain your Strength or Dexterity modifier wither it. Using a short rest or long rest while holding a weapon will make the weapon disappear and be added to your arsenal of Smelting Aura Weapons. You can have as many weapons equal to your Constitution modifier. You may remove a weapon from your arsenal during a short rest or a long rest, you can only do one though not both. (bows require ammo)
