Certain Blunt weapons not working with Stance Card
What happens: Equipping a Dream Catcher with a One-Handed Blunt Stance Card does not cause a change in stance. This is the case for all Dream Catchers.
What should happen: The Stance should change as they are One-Handed Blunt weapons.
How to recreate: Activate a the One-handed Blunt stance card, and equip any Dream Catcher.

Evidence of One-Handed Blunt Weapon status
A friend enlightened me that Dream Catchers use the Wand's combat animations, despite being Blunt weapons. However the Dream Catcher does not respond to the Wand Stance Card either.

Really want too see a person using Dream Catcher as a weapon to hit stuff in real life.
Yet again this is Mabinogi so we even use Pom poms, umbrellas, dolls and such in our combat lol.
Dream Catchers are a Blunt Weapon and gain perks from Blunt Mastery as well as the Ability to inflict the Blunt-Type Smash Debuff. As they are not "True Weapons" they cannot use Rage Impact/Bash, however neither can Umbrellas and Egg Bags, and as you can see in the video those other weapons triggered the stance, which is why I showed them.
It seems silly that items such as bags and umbrellas trigger the stance, but an actual weapon does not work.
I regularly use a Dream Catcher in easier combat as I am quite fond of the gimmicky play style, so I'm a little gutted that it doesn't work.
By the way, I've never been able to trigger the stunning effect from Smash with Dream Catchers, unless the Beginner variant isn't able to trigger the effect... for some reason.
Dream Catcher's arent wands cuz they gain no magic weapon perks. I can't run while meditating, I can't cast blaze, etc. It's just their animations. It would be like saying the Krutta Broadsword is a Blunt weapon because it uses Blunt animations-- ACTUALLY Im going to go test that real quick.
Edit: No, the Krutta Broadsword, despite using one handed blunt weapon animations, is still a sword and isn't affected by the one handed blunt weapon card, which is expected.
So why is the Dream Catcher such an exception, this can't be intentional;;
It would certainly explain why the Krutta Broadsword wouldn't be effected by the One-Handed Blunt Weapon Stance Card, since despite the animations the Krutta Broadsword is tagged as a two-handed sword, not a one-handed blunt weapon. Going by that logic, it would suggest that a Dream Catcher would need a Dream Catcher Stance Card, not a Blunt Weapon or Wand Stance Card. Don't know if one exists, however.
I am certain this is a bug or oversight.
This forum post also highlights that it seems certain weapon appearance scrolls are causing issues too, so it's likely a select group of older "non-true" weapons that dont fit into a large category.
What should happen: The Stance should change as they are both Blunt weapons.
How to recreate: On a giant, activate the Twin Blunt Stance Card and equip two Nail Bats.
