I had put it in one of the recent Creating Adventures (quarterly/annual newsletter). December will be the first stab at it, so maybe we adjust depending on how that goes.		* We have a sort of catch-up plan for December.

Vault Item

[1:10 PM]Wyrom [GS4], : The shards will push all the story of the Arena of the Abyss into the game. I know a lot of it got lost since it started at Feywrot Mire.

			==== Additional Information ====
			With the second shard hitting vaults, you will now be able to '''ADD SHARD to SHARD''' to boost it by +1 uses per week. Not super powerful, yet, but each run gets a little more usage.

			The range in which the fiend is set also increases with every additional shard added. So the formula is [your level] +/- [max usage]. Again, not much, but eventually you can spawn one in at +/- 10 levels.

			Since the rarity of the rare demon hasn't really been discovered through crowdsourcing data, I'll share that it's a 1 in 666 chance to spawn a rare demon from these. I don't want to spoil which one it is, but I know at least 5 people have spawned one. It does always spawn in at level 100 though, so use carefully at lower levels (or run). The rare demon does not have the same "follow the summoner" mechanics because it's an older demon type that isn't quite that common.

			Once you combine your shard with another one for the first time, you will start to look otherworldly in your LOOK. It will progressively get more demonic as you keep building your shard up to more uses per week. The unique description appears under your name and title when looked at. It does not hide any of your features at this time.

			<pre>

			You see That Guy.
			His surroundings twist into a fractured hellscape, reality buckling under the strain of his presence. His features flicker like dying embers, momentarily revealing the charred, demonic skin beneath his own.
			</pre>

			If you don't want to look demonic, you can simply remove it from being worn. Those stuffing their shards in an item displayer of some sort will not be impacted by the custom look either.

			If there are feature creeps or QoL requests, [https://discordapp.com/channels/226045346399256576/1469779332326101024/1537641949128040539 you're free to make them].
