The description of the enruned ridgemace may be freely altered.

The enruned ridgemace is a Valence Weapon, which temporarily allows the wielder to tap into the energy of various other valences and channel that power in offensive and defensive ways.

The ridgemace is tier 4 of 4.  This means that it has access to the following verbs: DROP, GET, WAVE (Veil of Shien'tyr), POKE, TOUCH, RAISE (Winds of Wrath), PROD, RUB, POINT (Wail of the Vishmiir), CLENCH, TAP, PUSH (Herald of Oblivion), Extraplanar Bane Affinity (+10 AS against extraplanar enemies when the weapon is already Extraplanar Bane).  Bearing both a Valence Weapon and Valence Armor unlocks a special ability (Onslaught of Grik'tyr), which is activated via TURN to inflict damage and potential knockdown to multiple foes.

Additionally, the weapon will have a standard chance to flare with disintegration damage on successful attacks.  Each unlocked tier allows a chance for another successive flare to occur if the previous one was successful, with diminishing chances per flare.

Additional Information

Valence Weapons were designed by GM Kenstrom and GM Mestys.

There are several varieties of Valence Weapons. The original Valence Weapons were exclusively edged weapons, such as swords and daggers. Additional Valence Weapon types were introduced in 2023, with blunt, ranged, and runestaff varieties. Each variety uses similar traps but has slightly different flavor messaging.

Valence armaments are sold at the Beyond Barriers shop.
