Q285 刃之魔契可以通过仪式将远程魔法武器变成契约武器吗？
根据贤者谏言SA，可以的。
If a warlock uses Pact of the Blade to bond with a magic weapon, does that weapon have to be a melee weapon, and can the warlock change the weapon’s form? The warlock’s Pact of the Blade feature (PH, 107–8) lets you create a melee weapon out of nothing. Whenever you do so, you determine the weapon’s form, choosing from the melee weapon options in the Weapons table in the Player’s Handbook (p. 149). For example, you can create a greataxe, and then use the feature again to create a javelin, which causes the greataxe to disappear.
You can also use Pact of the Blade to bond with a magic weapon, turning it into your pact weapon. This magic weapon doesn’t have to be a melee weapon, so you could use the feature on a +1 longbow, for instance. Once the bond is formed, the magic weapon appears whenever you call your pact weapon to you, and you can’t change the magic weapon’s form when it appears. For example, if you bond with a flame tongue (longsword) and send the weapon to an extradimensional space, the weapon comes back as a longsword when you summon it. You don’t get to turn it into a club. Similarly, if you bond with a dagger of venom, you can’t summon it as a maul; it’s always a dagger.
The feature allows the conjuring forth of a melee weapon, yet we allow more versatility when it comes to magic weapons. We didn’t want a narrow focus in this feature to make a warlock unhappy when a variety of magic weapons appear in a campaign. Does this versatility extend outside the melee theme of the feature? It sure does, but we’re willing to occasionally bend a design concept if doing so is likely to increase a player’s happiness.
Q：邪术师在使用“刃之魔契”联结魔法武器时，必须选择近战武器吗？可以改变武器的形态吗？
A：“刃之魔契”能力（玩家手册第107、108页）赋予你凭空创造近战武器的能力。创造的时候你可以从武器表格（玩家手册第149页）的近战武器中选择武器的形态。举例而言，你可以用这个能力创造一把巨斧，然后再次使用它创造一把标枪。创造标枪时，巨斧将消失。
你也可以用“刃之魔契”能力联结一把魔法武器，把它变为你的契约武器。这把武器不必须是近战武器，所以你可以联结一把+1长弓。联结完成后，你召唤契约武器时这把魔法武器就会出现，但你无法改变它的形态。举例而言，如果你联结了一把焰舌长剑并把它转移到异次元空间，那么当它被召唤回来时依然是一把长剑。你无法把它变成一把短棒。同样，如果你联结了一把淬毒匕首，你也无法把它变成一把巨锤。
“刃之魔契”只能用来创造近战武器，但在联结魔法武器时就更灵活一些。在战役里经常会出现各种不同类型的魔法武器，我们不希望因为限制武器类型让邪术师玩家不悦。这种灵活性是否违背了这个能力的近战主题？是的。但我们愿意为了让玩家开心而偶尔在设计上做点变通。
