Gilded Locus

The Gilded Locus is a unique relic capable of granting vast enhancive power. Created by a multidisciplinary scholarly collective, it combines lapidary work, glasswork, and magical infusion. Each locus is a unique, artistic construct and can receive up to 20 enhancive properties. The crystalline and glass structures within the locus amplify and stabilize magic, while alchemical inscriptions beneath the surface enhance its properties. The locus is permanently attuned to its owner and can be hidden from sight when worn.

This item is restricted and can only be adjusted by its creator.

  • +1 to Max Health

The locus has received 1 new property and 1 property boost since the last event reset.
