'''Weapon Mastery''' is a Tier 1 [[skill]] from the [[Wizard]]'s [[Conjuring skill tree]], increasing physical damage with weapons.

==Background==
{{Skillbox
|game= Diablo III


|active= Passive

|ranks= 15

|type= Direct damage boost

}}
Studies for a [[Wizard]], in how to fight more efficiency without many other spells.

==Skill Design==
This skill is something of a mystery, since there's little else to indicate that the Wizard would be using weapons for damage. It is known that the Wizard's equipment will have some bearing on her spell damage, so perhaps some skills derive their damage from the weapon damage, and this skill would boost that damage?

Either that or it's a harbinger of more [[melee]]/weapon type skills, or just something the [[D3 team]] was playing around with in their character development.

This would've been useful in Diablo 2, what with all the "unique" builds, including the melee [[Sorceress]]. The question is if that kind of diversity will exist in Diablo 3, or else this skill seems useless. On the other hand, it could be Blizzard taking the "melee Sorceress" to a whole new level with [[Damage Resistance]] and [[Spectral Blade]]...

==Skill Rank Table==
* '''Rank 1:''' Increase damage by 15.
Only Rank 1 is currently known.

==Synergies==
While they are not in direct synergy with this skill, [[Damage Resistance]] and [[Spectral Blade]] are two other skills that are melee-inspired in nature.

==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.

==Development==
Spell was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled. It's still assumed to be available as of 6 August 2009.
