      Using two shields probably isn't that much a problem, but 2 weapons certainly

I think that can be solved by cheating on our part.  Only make the magic for
the weapon in the right arm count, or average the two together.

      Florentine style lets you fight with too weapons.  However, with this

That seems borked to me.  How is it that I can learn a skill, and by doing so
completely forget how to use a shield?

Also.. it seems to me that it would be a different skill set to learn to fight
with two different weapons, vs a pair of identical weapons.  The motions and
strategies would be wholly different.
