I fully agree with your interpretation in this matter. But: Is this
clarification really necessary? I think Joe's intention is pretty
obvious. If a reader decides to go for the non-obvious alternative then
he's obviously trying to cheat by finding loopholes in the rules.
Anyway, if you want to reword it then my proposal (which, me being not a
native speaker, might be totally wrong) would be:
"For every adventure that you complete successfully in the New Order
series [possessing/knowing/mastering/having the discipline of Grand
Weaponmastery], you will gain proficiency with one additional weapon."
