Philosopher's Notes
The Blast Chip is a specialized runic token discovered within the deep layers of The Forge. Its resonance is primarily tuned towards Weapon applications.
Inhabitants of the realm report that this rune significantly alters the molecular structure of the equipment it inhabits, granting properties that defy conventional blacksmithing.
Mechanics
Application of this rune consumes a variable amount of Essence depending on the equipment's current stability. Once seated, the rune is permanent unless cleansed at the Altar of Woe.
Synergy
Combines exceptionally well with gear that already possesses base attributes of a similar nature, effectively multiplying the output through harmonic resonance.
