Allowing only the turning path doesn't block non-turning magic items,
correct?

Weapon restrictions aren't new and if I remember correctly, work for
other gods. If you'd like, I can take help you take a look at why
can_use_range isn't being copied correctly.

Another possibility is that can_use_range is actually copied, but just
not respected when inside a 'force' object. You could check this by
opening the player file in a text editor.

Let me know if you'd like some help taking a whack at this.

Kevin

P.S. I appreciated the story!
