⚫	The mace is considered a [[mass weapon]], and therefore must conform to the rules that govern all mass weapons. The head must have at least half an inch of [[progressive give]] between the striking surface and the haft. The striking surface must also have rounded edges. Any striking thrusting tip must be at least two inches wide.
