You specialize in a specific family of weaponry, adapting many techniques to suit them.

Note that this does not change the initiation requirements of maneuvers from those disciplines (for example, a warlord who takes this feat might have heavy blades associated with Solar Wind, but still cannot make a ranged attack with them without further feats or abilities that allow him to use a heavy blade as a ranged weapon).

Special: This may be taken multiple times.
