@BishopActually, that's not an item that you should be worried about. The mystery is part of the fun, don't you think?
Also, there's no such thing as an obligation of your character to use magic or anything like this. It's an intrinsic option, so everyone will have the capacity to do it, even if they decide not to employ it. Consider it like a video game where you automatically get access to a skill, but you are not forced to use or upgrade it in anyway.
Like wise, there's nothing that says that you can't have different/more/less weapons, that's just a suggestion of what is the best load out of equipment. As long as you don't have more than one special item, and you keep your other items to a reasonable amount like say, like say 2 pairs of weapons, in case your character is dedicated to dual-wielding.
One way or another, the final say on what you can or not have will be
@TheWindel's word. So the best you can do is consult with him first.
