Weapon Elements

[Castaigne]

1) Are Weapon Elements specific to one martial art, or do they apply to all martial arts a character knows, like Extra Damage Classes?

 

2) What about 'free' Weapon Elements?

Example: Max has KS: Kung Fu and three maneuvers common to both Kung Fu and Kenjutsu. If Max adds WF: Blades and KS: Kenjutsu can he use the Weapon Element: Blades with Kung Fu?

[Steve Long]

A Weapon Element, if purchased, applies to all Martial Arts a character knows. However, a “free” Weapon Element, gained by purchasing a weapon-based style such as Arnis or Fencing, does not carry over to any other maneuvers or styles.
