You've learned to better combine your dual wielding with your powers. You gain the following benefits:

  • Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
  • When you use your action to Cast a Power that calls for a weapon attack and attack with a light weapon that you're holding in one hand, you can use your bonus action to engage in Two-Weapon Fighting. All the rules of Two-Weapon Fighting still apply to you.
