It makes me proud Shinji to hear that you are playing the greatest game of all time!
If you let it get under your skin you will be messing with that weapon system forever!
I must have put about 200+ hours into that game making 100+ all class weapons and perfect armor! that game is so rich in detail and atmosphere that it's always a joy to play.
Castlevania got finished so on to the next one! Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.
