-	[[Sylvia]]'s recounting of when she touched the [[Arkenpliers]] {{erf\|2\|T29}} and its contrast with [[Ossomer]]'s memories ~~indicates that it may be possible for any non-royal commander to attune to any tool~~. ~~It may simply be that~~ the current wielders ~~are simply the first non royals to wield them~~ and ~~survive~~. ~~It's also possible that the wielder has~~ to ~~be a non-Royal Warlord; Stanley was a non-Royal Warlord~~, ~~and Wanda's Croakamancy-derived ability~~ to ~~command Uncroaked in battle may be close enough~~ to ~~qualify~~.	+	The Arkentools give certain benefits to any user, but the greatest abilities are available only to a user who becomes specially attuned. Not everyone is able to attune a Tool. For instance, Prince Ansom could wield the Arkenpliers as a melee weapon only, and their greater power was not unlocked until Lady Firebaugh obtained and attuned them.
		+
		+	The requirements for attunement are not known. Inhabitants of Erf appear to believe that the potential is an individual special quality. (The princes of Jetstone each held the Arkenpliers once "in hope of attunement."{{erf\|2\|T29}})
		+
		+	Readers have speculated that it may be easier than that, and that any non-Royal Commander may attune a Tool. This is based on [[Sylvia]]'s recounting of when she touched the [[Arkenpliers]]{{erf\|2\|T29}} and its contrast with [[Ossomer]]'s memories of the same. This is not contradicted by anything we know of the current or past attuned wielders; they have all been either Casters or Warlords, and although Lady Firebaugh is Noble, none have been Royal.
		+
		+	The time required for attunement is variable. Lady Firebaugh appeared to attune the Arkenpliers as soon as she touched them{{erf\|1\|142}}, but Warlady Judy Branch is said to have attuned to the Arkenshoes "over a period of several days." [see Book 0 update 66]
