Items with a story

The tooltip carries one developer line per item (see every item); these are the ones that carry the world.

Trophies and the blessings

Each boss leaves a trophy. Laid at the Lightheart Tree it grants that boss's blessing: one active at a time, 300 s, a shared 1200 s cooldown, activated with the blessing key. 8 boss trophies exist. The small-game trophies are not wasted: a hand recipe nails each one to a board as a Mounted kit (Bristleback Tusk, Glade Hart Antler, Duskling Mask, Lynx Skull, Drowned Skull, Frostwolf Fang, Fallen Sigil, Wyvern Crest, Umbral Horn) that hangs on a wall in the trophy's own colours and counts as a comfort source.

The Foci: a school in the hand

There are not thirty-five staffs. Every staff and wand keeps the school it was made for, and an elf who wants another school fits a Focus to it: craft the Focus at the Lumen Font from the materials of its school, then fit it to one staff or wand at a Lumen Font of level 4 (the reattune function, the way the Repeater Magazine is fitted at the Moonforge). The Focus is spent, stays on that item wherever it goes (pack, chest, a friend's hands on the other side of the net) and sets the school it casts; fitting another Focus replaces it. A school is open to a staff or wand of tier T once its Focus is craftable at T or below.

The five energies

Legendary spell energies, one per school, held in two hands: Dawnfire (Radiance), Wildheart (Verdance), Starfall (Starlight), Voidflame (Umbra), Moontide (Tide). They are not conjured by a roll: each is forged from the heart of a boss, at the Aether Anvil (level 2) or, for the two latest, at the Dawn Altar through its relic function. A character carries at most two, never two of one school; they cannot be dropped.
