Nice spell. I really like the messaging for changing between weapon buffs. Only minor bug I've found so far is if you hold a weapon and non weapon in your hands, you can get it to give a abnormal message. If you start with weapon in right and non weapon in left then swap, you see yourself twirl both items as if they are both weapons. But if you swap the non weapon from right hand to left, the messaging is back to normal.

One mechanically weird thing with the spell is if you have the same weapon buff from both hands. I think this shouldn't cause any problems but please keep an eye on this and let me know if you notice any oddities.

Swapping with two weapons now gives two messages. One message showing both buff and a second showing the main hand buff. The buffs are working though.

So I slept on it and the way I'm handling the logic in this spell is, frankly, dumb.
It should mostly work in Test but I plan to rip it out and redo it as soon as I can. Unfortunately "as soon as I can" is either going to mean a small ~1 hr window this afternoon or may not be until next Sunday/Mondayish (which is the same timeline for finishing Memory of Nature, the last outstanding project). What this means is that a 3.2 release is almost certainly not going to happen until early next week best case - which is for the best since I'll want to be around to monitor the release (Due to my actual job most of my DR time occurs on Sun/Mon/Tue).
This is also a large enough roll out that it's going to be asynchronous since I don't want to break all the instances at the same time. We'll follow the normal order of Plat --> Prime --> TF.
