message: I can't find any sources on dweomer including for this bit that's in the article: "Gary Gygax encountered the Middle English word dweomercræft in Susan Kelz Sperling's book Poplollies & Bellibones: A Celebration of Lost Words (1977), where it is defined as "the art of magic or juggling." Gygax invented such derivations as dweomered, dweomercræfter, and dweomercræfting".
Doing a keyword search, I've found it used (but not defined) in Dragon #67 (1982) and Tome of Magic (1991). I didn't have luck finding it in other 1e/2e products. A 2012 WoTC article refers to it being used in AD&D and says "Gary Gygax's sesquipedalian writing style elevated their texts above mere game books, in the process sending a whole generation of gamers scurrying to their dictionaries to look up words such as "milieu," "dweomer," and "puissant,"not to mention Latin abbreviations, such as e.g., i.e, and q.v.to cite just a few examples I still remember to this day".
If you can find a source, please add it. Thanks Sariel Xilo (talk) 19:24, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

message: I propose to merge Weave (Forgotten Realms) into Magic in Dungeons & Dragons#Forgotten Realms. I think that the content in the Weave article can easily be added to the section on campaign setting specifics and that the Weave article itself fails WP:GNG since it currently has 1 secondary source.
