EBladed Weapon Messages

If no one objects here, then soon, I will be putting the following messaging into the main article. It will help bards and other people shopping at the pawnshop to really understand and be able to identify an E-Bladed weapon. There is a lot of confusion concerning these weapons. Please say if you think this is too much to put in the article. The results of our testing today:

>loresing (verse 4)
The harmonics generated tell you that the runestaff has been temporarily infused with elemental air.

>attack rolton
You swing a runestaff at a rolton!
  AS: +161 vs DS: +18 with AvD: +10 + d100 roll: +4 = +157

I could make a table of all this information, however, having the actual messaging helps a lot. The table that is currently in the article is fine to leave as-is I think. It is just confusing to some people and I hope this additional information will help to clarify. Thanks for the input about this, and to Polveiss for the awesome testing. -Soliere FIRENSIA (talk) 09:47, 24 December 2019 (CST)
