"GRAB" "HOLD"

Usage: grab <object>
       hold <object>

For getting a good grip on something; a glowrod, for example. You may hold
anything including a light source. However, some weapons may require both
hands, and so you cannot hold anything else or use a light.

You can also attempt to grab/hold a weapon. If the weapon is holdable and
you have the skill of 'ambidexterity' you will be able to attack twice
during combat, thus the weapon becomes your 'offhand' or secondary weapon.

Examples:

  > hold torch
  > grab knife
