Atlas’ eyes immediately caught at his massive Strength stat, perfectly fitting for a blacksmith. The talents listed alongside it were equally impressive, all tailored to enhance his craftsmanship and combat utility.
[Runeforge Mastery (A) - Eternal Flame Bond (SS) - Molten Resilience (A) - Overheat Surge (B) - Inspirational Craftsman (B) - Braided Flame Glow (B) - Living Anvil (A)]
[Runeforge Mastery: Grants the ability to inscribe powerful runes onto equipment, imbuing them with elemental properties.]
[Eternal Flame Bond: The flames of the forge never extinguish and can be summoned as a fragment to aid in battle or crafting.]
Runeforge Mastery...? Now this was a jackpot.
He knew a bit about runic engraving. An advanced technique that allowed someone to inscribe magical runes onto weapons, armor, or equipment. Not just for decoration, these runes could enhance elemental power, sharpen a weapon’s edge, strengthen armor, or even amplify certain user traits.
The true value was in its customization. Runes could be tailored to match the elemental affinity of the wearer, turning an average item into a powerful, personalized artifact.
The fact that Baldric possessed mastery over this rare craft meant Atlas had just unlocked a system that could potentially push every fighter on his island past their current limits.
