Analyze

G>analyze locus You analyze the gilded locus and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The gilded locus is a unique relic that is capable of granting vast enhancive power. It is an arcane invention of a multidisciplinary scholarly collective that incorporates techniques of lapidary work and glasswork with complex magical infusion. As an intricate, artistic construct that serves as a expansive repository for enhancive properties, any two loci are unlikely to be identical in either enhancive inscription or in form.

The crystalline structures of the gemstones used amplify and stabilize the enhancive magics woven into the locus, while the amorphous structure of the glass integrated into the design serves as a strategic buffer and arcane counterweight to the flows of magic throughout the construct. The enhancive properties that any given locus supports are typically etched or applied in alchemical ink beneath the surface and sealed in glass.

The locus can receive up to 20 enhancive properties.

The locus is permanently attuned to Nyxus. It can be TUCKed while worn in order to hide it from sight. It has received 1 new properties and 1 property boosts since the last event reset.

The locus's enhancive properties can only be adjusted by its creator and cannot be recharged with enhancive potions. The locus can be altered, but its noun must remain 'locus'.

The gilded locus may not be lightened.
