@owenbretts CULTURALLY, perhaps non-warrior and non-leader gems might be expected not to be able to summon a weapon (at the very least, with how homeworld's culture is currently) but I believe it's very clear that any gem, PHYSIOLOGICALLY should have one they can use. I say this, because the weapons are very clearly an extension of their bodies. It's something akin to the claws and teeth of a mammal, but more reflective of their nature as stones with hard-light projections, and how the weapons exist as temporary, partially shape-shiftable hard light objects.
