To add an upgrade to an ancestral weapon, a player must
spend the number of spirit points as displayed in its
description. A DM may choose to assign an upgrade to

the ancestral weapon, instead of offering the player the

spirit points directly. This represents the weapon having a
predetermine path, unlocking powers it previously possessed.
Some upgrades have a requirement, such as class, ability to
cast spells, or type of weapon:

Rampaging
Sa

3 Spirit points, melee weapon only

You have advantage on attacks with this weapon if you
began your turn over 20 foot away from the target.

In these cases, if the requirements are not met, this upgrade

may not be applied to this ancestral weapon. If already
present, such as in the case of the weapon being gifted after
being upgraded, these upgrades will have no effect.
Upgrades are grouped by ‘Tiers’, which relate to the Tiers
of play. Each Tier of upgrade are unlocked at certain levels, as
detailed in Chapter 2. A character cannot add upgrades to an
ancestral weapon unless they are of sufficient level.
You cannot remove upgrades unless you are overwriting
them, or refocusing the weapon, both of which are detailed
later in this chapter.
