Crafting

Crafting is the practice of making magical items. Unlike Inscriptions, magic items are lasting.

To craft an item you must always begin with a unique base of some kind; it's not sufficient to simply smelt large amounts of magical iron to make a magic hammer. For example, rumour has it that Mjolnir was crafted from magical iron alloyed with the heart of a fallen star, still shining as it was excavated. Though not every magic item needs to be made from something so grandiose as that, it must begin from something special.

To craft an item you must:

1. Begin with the unique material(s)
2. Add additional basic materials of your choice.
3. Optionally cast a rune of Creation.
4. Optionally add essence of your own material to the creation. This will cause at least one wound.
5. State your intention for what you wish the magic item to do.
6. Spend some time crafting the item.

While you make the item the refs will write you a card for it.

Each godling can only attune to one magic item at a time.

It's known that there are diminishing returns on adding basic materials, depending on the power of the unique base you use.
