I always get weight and mass confused, but I would think the terms weightless and massless could be used interchangeably here. Weightless would also imply to me, an inability to use a bow. How could you apply force to pull the bowstring without mass? Similarly, there would be no mass to leverage a sword.

But does that mean light-footed is the only alternative?
