			====Impossible modifiers====
			Some items of a weapon type are furthermore restricted from certain modifiers, or the only ones that can receive it:
			*Cannot receive Critical Hit (<code>SharpWeaponAddCrit</code> is false):
			** Odd cases: Traveler's Sword, Rusty Broadsword
			** Special weapons: Master Sword, One-Hit Obliterator
			*Cannot receive Long Throw (<code>PoweredSharpAddThrowMin \|\| PoweredSharpAddThrowMax == 1.0</code>):
			** Boomerangs: Boomerang, Giant Boomerang, Lizal Boomerang, Lizal Forked Boomerang, Lizal Tri-Boomerang, Lizalfos Arm, Sea-Breeze Boomerang
			** Elemental rods: Fire Rod, Ice Rod, Lightning Rod, Meteor Rod, Blizzard Rod, Thunderstorm Rod
			** Wind-blowing weapons: Korok Leaf, Windcleaver
			** Special weapons: Master Sword, One-Hit Obliterator
			*Can receive Five-Shot Burst (<code>PoweredSharpAddSpreadFire</code> is true):
			** Forest Dweller's Bow, Lynel Bow, Mighty Lynel Bow, Savage Lynel Bow
			*The Hero's Shield will never recieve Shield Guard up due to only being obtainable from amiibo.

			There are also some items that have values for modifiers in their parameters, but in all actual in-game cases have scaling restricted. This is mostly weapons only obtainable through crafting or shops.
			*Never seen with any modifiers:
			**Only from purchasing: Ancient Short Sword, Ancient Bladesaw, Ancient Shield, Ancient Bow, Spring-Loaded Hammer
			**Champions' weapons restricted: Scimitar of the Seven, Daybreaker, Boulder Breaker, Great Eagle Bow, Ceremonial Trident, Lightscale Trident
			**Skeleton arms: Bokoblin Arm, Lizalfos Arm, Moblin Arm
			**Random items: Farmer's Pitchfork
			**Special weapon: Bow of Light
			*Never seen with yellow modifiers (only white):
			**Random items: Tree Branch, Soup Ladle, Boat Oar, Woodcutter's Axe, Wooden Mop, Pot Lid, Wooden Bow

			Finally, there are some items which either have limited instances where scaling is allowed and/or limited modifier availability before they upgrade. A list can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RdV6RsHucg4h22sIZOEBsGSE7Mxk4zUipsADoGIjkOk/pubhtml# here].

Those that belong to the Yellow tier are usually superior to the other ones.
