@Zane, I've never disagreed that some powers have been used in a weaponly manner, but that is not a true quality of the object itself. A pen can be used as a weapon, as can any object. But you would never call them a weapon if they were not designed for that purpose. In the case of powers, they're an attribute of the person who controls these powers, and are not inherent weapons (as they are not 'designed' to be weapons, as are true weapons such as swords and axes and the such, which are designed to hurt people a/o kill.)

Since not all powers have been used as weapons, and since Zane has stated that only powers that are used as weapons should be listed, I believe that it makes no sense to split up some powers from others, and since powers and weapons are different things, they should have a different category on the page.

An easy way to do this is to simply split the Abilities and Items page in half, since most of the pages I've seen practically do this and would not be difficult to do so.

However, one could make the case that it'd be easier to simply make sub-categories under the Abilities and Items section. In the end, there's no truly factual or good reason to split the category, it's really all trivial and based on personal preference. I think to debate the section is somewhat irrelevant, and instead there should just be a vote between:

Keeping the Abilities and Items as is

Splitting Powers and Weapons (Abilities and Items)

Revamping the section in another way.

Then enact the policy as so of the vote result. Otherwise there's not much else to do in my opinion.
