Ability Runes
Unlock Your Potential Through Ancient Power
Ability runes are mystical artifacts that grant humanoids access to extraordinary powers and combat techniques.
Alpha Build Limitations
Abilities in the current alpha build do not feature special animations or visual effects. Full animation systems and enhanced visual feedback will be implemented in the complete release version.
Rune Mastery System
To harness the power of an ability rune, characters must meet specific prerequisites:
- Attribute Requirements: Each rune demands minimum attribute thresholds that reflect the physical, mental, or spiritual demands of the ability
- Tier Progression: Higher-tier runes require corresponding character advancement, ensuring abilities scale appropriately with player progression
- Attunement Process: Runes can be unequipped, but doing so afflicts the character with rune exhaustion debilitating condition that prevents any further rune modifications for 7 days
This system ensures that powerful abilities remain meaningful rewards for character development while maintaining balanced progression throughout your journey.
