At 7th level, at the end of a long rest, you can transfer the enchantment from a non-intelligent magic weapon into your body. One of your fists (your choice) gains the numerical bonuses and additional abilities of the weapon, which embeds itself into your forearm.
The base damage of the weapon is discarded, along with all mundane properties (damage type, two-handed, heavy, etc) and you use your own unarmed strike damage instead. The weapon requires attunement, even if it normally would not, and it cannot be removed except willingly by you at the end of a short or long rest. You can absorb the abilities of up to two weapons in this manner (one for each fist). You may choose to use either the mastery of your unarmed strike, or the weapon's mastery, but only one may apply to per attack, and both still require a separate mastery selection.
If you absorb a weapon made of a material with properties not found in steel (such as Adamantine), you may apply these properties to your Fist of Stone attacks.
