For a long time, scientists, mages, and sages of Asteria have been grappling with the mysteries of this universe. Its ancient magic has always been of particular interest, being unlike anything known before. Much time and effort has been spent studying it, but after extensive research, we have come one step closer to unraveling it. It has been discovered that the magic of this realm is woven from special Symbols, each of which endows an enchanted item with unique properties. Some symbols grant attributes, similar to runes or frames, others alter properties, and still others imbue them with special blessings that can manifest in battle. Creating characters is currently beyond the capabilities of mages in Asteria, but we have found a way to transfer their magical properties to warriors' equipment. This is done using special artifacts called "Molds," which can be purchased at the "Curiosity Fair" (in limited quantities) or in the Premium Store. A separate mold is required for each type of item. For example, for boots, you need a "Boot Mold," for a breastplate, a "Breastplate Mold," and so on. An important feature of this enhancement is that it is impossible to predict which specific symbols will be transferred to the piece of equipment when using a mold. The number of symbols applied may also vary. [Images of artifacts] It is reliably known that the higher the quality of the item, the more symbols it can hold. Common items can hold only 1 symbol, rare items can hold 1 or 2 symbols, unique items can hold from 1 to 3 symbols, and masterwork and legendary items can hold from 1 to 4 symbols. If you are not satisfied with the set of symbols obtained when applying a mold, you can use the same mold again - in this case, new symbols will replace the old ones. Keep in mind that the higher the level of the item, the more powerful symbols can be applied to it. As a result of numerous experiments with applying foreign molds, the following patterns have been identified: - The level of the applied symbol cannot be higher than the level of the item. - Some symbols are much rarer than others. - Two identical symbols cannot be applied to one item (although it is possible to apply symbols of the same type, but of different levels). - Many symbols can only be found on items of certain types. Magical symbols, as another type of item enhancement, are in addition to runes and rune sockets. The same item can contain both a rune and a socket, as well as a set of symbols.
