From my reading/understanding of the interaction, this is how it works: 1. Light Weapon: Uses your action and bonus action. Make two attacks, with two different weapons. Both weapons must be Light. The second attack doesn't add your modifier. 2. Nick Mastery & Light Weapon: Uses only your action. Make two attacks, with two different weapons. Both weapons must be Light. The second attack doesn't add your modifier. 3. Duel Wielder & Light Weapon: Uses your action and bonus action. Make two attacks, with two different weapons. Only the first weapon must be Light. The second attack doesn't add your modifier. 4. All Three Options: Uses only your action.. Make two attacks, with two different weapons. Only the first weapon must be Light. The second attack doesn't add your modifier.
Reasons Why: 1. Duel Wielder uses almost the exact same wording as the Light Property when describing the extra attack, with the only change being "A Melee Weapon that lacks the Two-handed Property." This implies that Duel Wielder is not giving a "3rd attack", and instead modifying the Light Property. 2. The Nick Mastery would normally provide a method to get three attacks. Two attacks with the Light property, one attack with Duel Wielder. However, the sentence "You can make this extra attack only once per turn," prevents that, since it seems to be referencing the "extra attack of the Light property". Conclusion; This is super unclear wording, and if they were trying to mean something else, like three attacks, they definitely should've done another pass on the editing.
That was another option of how to interrupt them! I am glad that it isn't just me. After some thought there is three different ways to interrupt this and you can make an argument for each, I believe. 1) with two light weapons with nick you can get three attacks cause nick frees up bonus action. What is preventing you from using that bonus action for a light weapon property attack? Just choose not to use nick cause it says you "can" and you can make "this" attack once per turn this attack referring to the nick attack. Dual wielder lets you use more weapon options. 2) light weapon and nonlight weapon with duel wielder and nick. You get 2 attacks on your main attack phase, much like you said. 3) a light weapon (with nick) and a non-light weapon gives you two attacks on your main and dual wielder gives you another one as a bonus action, giving you three attacks. (which is what I think they meant for it to happen) Conclusion: I think Nick is the problem child in this whole thing. Cause it is either a) giving you a new type of attack (going back to interruption A) or B) uses up the "attack" part of the bonus action (going back to how you interrupt it or interruption B in this post)
