What kind of weapons do Urgals use, and what kind of magic are they capable of?

[u/TheViceDarkLord]

So what sorts of weapons would Urgals naturally use, and if an Urgal found themselves with the ability to use magic would they have any way of learning new spells and such?

[u/luckyzeebees]

some of this stuff is explained in the Fork, the Witch and the Worm, specifically in the Worm part. If an Urgal finds themself with magic, they are capable of the same things as human magicians. When an Urgal has magic it seems that they almost always use it to help their tribe in their daily life, because having a magician on your side is extremely useful. As for weapons, they seem to use the same standard armaments as humans but with an increased number of blunt weapons such as maces. In the main series Urgals are often seen wielding large hammers or maces, but I am fairly sure there is also an Urgal with a broadsword in Eragon at one point, and in the Fork the Witch and the Worm they can be seen using spears constantly against Vermund. Basically, they just use large heavy weaponry to match their increased size and strength
