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.

Off-the-Shelf
The locus is free off-the-shelf and comes with one of the following enhancive properties prior to any additions/boosts:
    It provides a boost of 1 to Max Mana.
    It provides a boost of 1 to Max Health.
    It provides a boost of 1 to Max Stamina.

Nyxus: Thanks everybody for your candid feedback, which helped inform a good discussion on our end about how to fill in some gaps on this new item. I have some changes to announce as a result.

Disclaimer: Note that the locus still cannot be charged via simucoin potions.

Changes:
Each time a locus property is boosted, a one month enhancive charge will be added to the locus. The locus can also still be charged via the AG. Property additions do not charge the locus.
Battle Vaults will contain an account attuned 1 month locus charge.
The first 2 properties added will start at +5 with no extra fee.
The locus no longer starts with +1 max health/stamina/mana. Instead, it will start with +1 to one of the three, according to the player’s choice. This property is excluded from AG recharge cost calculation. This property is not subject to the normal +20 cap.
The +max property is boosted "for free" as other properties are boosted, at the following rates: 1:1 for the first 50 boosts, 1:2 for the second 50 boosts, 1:3 for the third 50 boosts, and so on and so forth.
The locus will be account attuned rather than character attuned.
