They have identical conditions and effects. (Example: gem weapons )
They have identical conditions but different effects. (Example: boost skills )
They have different conditions but identical effects. (Example: Flashing Blade 3 Heavy Blade 3
They are inheritable (and do not come from Special Heroes in the case of weapons).
