strength weapons are just weapons too fucking big for people not strength builds to use
while arcanium is a modern-ish invention, ancient civilizations already got other ways to make magic-conducting metal (as seen with the ancient cursed daggers in AA)
relics are just items blessed by the gods, and as far as we know can be literally anything irregardless of their material
so, if someone made a big ass heavy weapon of whatever magic-conducting metal they got back then and got a god to bless it, itd be possible to make an arcanium* strength relic, right?
yeah, but the hardest part will be finding a god to bless it, since they’re currently busy not being alive. maybe when we get strong enough to be able to revive a god temporarily it could happen.
actually maybe it’s easier to find an already giant spirit weapon (like ember staff pre being broken I guess) and then reforge it as arcanium (because you can do that apparently)
honestly i made an idea of further into the story the player is gifted a conduit weapon that ANY stat build can use, so the idea of a arcanium strength relic is kinda similar to it
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Arcanium made by letting whatever you want to turn into Arcanium sit in the ocean for a couple decades? You could probably dunk a Relic you have lying around in it for that long and turn it into Arcanium that way.
idk abt the new lore but old arcanium is metal mixed with magic-irradiated salt, though iirc ya just submerge it enough works too i think (pretty sure thats part of the process of making a devourer too?)
