An ancient and mystical craft rediscovered, soulforging involves the delicate manipulation of "Anima"—ethereal essence or soul energy—to imbue physical objects with spectral power and echoes of the past.
Player-Facing Rules & Mechanics
- Soul Harvesting: Soulforging begins with the collection of Soul Favor (the raw mana released from purified souls).
- The Proto-State: Raw soul favor is volatile and is typically stabilized into an Anima Echo (a proto-state).
- Crafting Proficiency: Requires proficiency in Arcana and relevant artisan's tools (e.g., Glassblower's Tools).
Time & Money (Standard Guidelines)
Crafting is completed when either the In-Game Days or the Session Limit is reached.
- The Consumable Rule: Gold costs, In-Game Days, and Session Limits for consumables (like Anima Echoes) are halved compared to permanent items. This sets the Base requirement for these items (reflected in the table below).
- Fixed Session Limits: Once the base session limit is determined (via the Consumable Rule), it is fixed. It cannot be further reduced by dedicated forges, downtime, or other speed-up modifiers.
| Rarity | Permanent (Sessions) | Permanent (Gold) | Consumable (Sessions) | Consumable (Gold) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 2 Sessions | 50 gp | 1 Session | 25 gp |
| Uncommon | 4 Sessions | 200 gp | 2 Sessions | 100 gp |
| Rare | 8 Sessions | 2,000 gp | 4 Sessions | 1,000 gp |
| Very Rare | 16 Sessions | 20,000 gp | 8 Sessions | 10,000 gp |
| Legendary | 24 Sessions | 100,000 gp | 12 Sessions | 50,000 gp |
Forge Efficiency
- Dedicated Soulforge: Divides In-Game Days by 5. (Does not affect Session Limits).
- Artifact Modifier (Road Work Ahead): Plavi's specific ability allows for Full Progress (1x Speed) while adventuring.
