is there no Soulmancy ritual for creating a Demon Bone Weapon?

Talking about the stuff on page 89-91 of Dimension Book 10

The closest I could find is the Soul Weapon ritual on page 110 of WB35 but SWs have different stats from DBWs so I don't think they're necessarily the same thing.

Oddly if you look at the Quick Find Index on page 6 of WB35 it lists Demon Bone Weapons as being on page 126 but if I go there while the "Minion War Arms Race" page does have a "Demon Melee Weapons" this oddly only talks about RANGED ancient weapons: Demon Bows / Demon Arrows, before moving onto "Demon Guns" and "Bone Shard Weapons" on page 126.

It's almost like something akin to a DB10 reprint got cut out from WB35 for space while neglecting to put a reference to DB10 for melee weapon stats?

I can't assume these are the same category of weapon - Soul Weapons explicitly do MD all the time whereas DBWs do SDC to SDC targets. DBWs require at least 10% bone in their construction, Soul Weapons do not. Soul Weapons can store 4 spells, DBWs can only store 3.

Soul Weapons have an explicit MDC amount which is useful (no healing rate is listed, not sure if you can repair it) whereas I don't know the MDC of DBWs only how much they inflict.

Consider Bone Magic in WB18 - Bone Scepter (pg 102) and Bone Staff (pg 103). You could also use Fragile Bone to MDC Bone (pg 99) for just making shaped bone melee weapons into MDC.

love those spells, I also knew about some kind of MDC-weapon-making spell from Federation of Magic but I think it does MD all the time so it could be too strong

maybe there's some kinda ritual in Rifts Africa which resembles this, I remmber there or maybe one of the South America books some weapon that did SD to SDC and MD to MDC

While we do get a handful of spells that make a magical thingy that does something special, in general anything more complex than the very basic is presumed to take the form of unstated rituals that require a workshop and a prolonged period of time to make. The Bone Weapons in the Dimension Books are the product of demonic magic item creation, while the weapons you can create with the invocation are very basic, the best you can get without a workshop and a few weeks to a few months of downtime.

Don't be expecting any more details on it, Palladium in general thinks Players should be adventuring rather than crafting, and we still haven't gotten that Hardware book despite the Operator having been there since the beginning.
