Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.
My spies have informed me that there might be a significant number of Arcanum players who - while not present on Terra Arcanum - can be found on this here Codex. It has been suggested that, for the benefit of those players, a certain Arcanum-related project of mine should be shared here as well.
And so it now is.
The user fills in the following information about the character for which the weapon data will be calculated:
Much more information can be found in the database's readme part.

Changes in version 1.0.1:
- Corrected the damage calculating formulas of the Sword of the Derian Ka.
- Added the Sword of the Derian Ka section to the README part.
Changes in version 1.0.2:
- Corrected the damage calculating formulas of the Fine Revolver.
Changes in version 1.0.3:
- Fixed a loophole in minimum and maximum damage calculating formulas which erroneously elevated the damage of the Axe of Lost Time and Grack's Burdensome Staff for characters combining low strength and high magickal aptitude.
Changes in version 1.0.4:
- Added the Bow of Damage to the DATABASE part.
Changes in version 1.0.5:
- Fixed sorting for the 2007 and later versions of Excel. (!!)
- Included additional trivia in the Harrow section of the README part.
- Removed the mention of a potential side database supporting mods (A:WIP or otherwise) from the README part (since by this point it's pretty clear I'll never get around to that).
- Added a couple more entries in the Thanks section.
