Hello, so i’ve been thinking about arcanium weapons since they were added as a tasks in the trello. And i noticed that their fonction isn’t set in stone yet, and that them being usable by mages isn’t out of the table yet. So in this post i’ll be speculating about their functionality and stuff.
So i saw a vetex reply where he started that cestus will be the equivalent of arcanium for beserkers. And in a separated reply he said that arcanium cestus might be added. And i’ve also heard that cestus is supposed to modify techniques (stat alteration).
So from that info, i think that arcanium weapons will function in 2 different ways, one way can be used by all magic classes, and conjurers can use function 1 as well as function 2.
-Function 1: they can be used to alter spells and visually make them fire from the weapon (spells in the magic tool not the in the weapon itself). How that works? Maybe the first weapon slot can be designated as the modifier weapon slot. And in the magic menu you can modify a spell via a new option called “Use arcanium” which will make the spell do what i said at the start. This is just my guess.
-Function 2: Conjurers will be able to slot spells on arcanium weapons, allowing for extra spells to be used (by sacrificing weapons skills). The spells will be altered like in function 1. And also weapon skills will have split stats between weapon and magic like colossal weapons (60/60).
That’s all i have in my mind for now. I would like to hear other peoples thoughts about them.
