Power comes from another player's labour.
Weapons are designed voxel by voxel and evolved at a blacksmith's forge. Monsters are authored by the people who play. Nothing in the world arrived there by accident — someone delved for it, shaped it, or risked it at the anvil.
What the forge can make of it
Seven tiers, and no shortcut between them. A tier is earned at the anvil — every step up is a roll that could just as easily have ended the item.
How a weapon comes to be
Delve
Fight through a dungeon and take a base item off something that did not want to give it up.
Shape
Design its form voxel by voxel in the builder — from scratch or from a template — and declare its type.
Evolve
Feed it to the forge. Steer the rolls with rare items. Accept that the imbue that could crown it might shatter it.
The bestiary needs authors.
The Entity Builder — volumes, states, animation, effects — runs in your browser and is free for everyone. What the community builds, and curators approve, is what the world fights next season.
