Description
This rune inscribed on a magical piece of wood, stone, metal, crystal, or bone can be affixed to an item by a Runesmith (and Aethyrflame with the Runesmith feature).
When affixed to an item, the item becomes magical it it wasn’t already and requires attunement. Any damage dealt by the affixed item is considered magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances and the item becomes resilient to normal wear and damage.
The object resizes to fit the size of the creature attuned to it and can be summoned to the hand of the attuned creature as a bonus action. An Aethyrflame creature can only attune to one rune-bound item unless they are a Runesmith of sufficient level.
In addition to the base features described above, this rune also enchants the item with the following benefits when its used as a weapon. The power of the effect increases as the attuned creature’s Aethyrflame Intensity level reaches level 7 and 13.
- Level 1: You have a +2 to hit to attack with this weapon. Creatures dealt damage by this weapon are marked by you for 1 minute and cannot benefit from partial cover against your attacks while marked in this way.
- Level 7: You have a +3 to hit to attack with this weapon. Creatures dealt damage by this weapon are marked by you for 1 minute and cannot benefit from partial cover against your attacks while marked in this way. Additionally, you can see a faint outline of the marked creature as long as they are within 120 feet, preventing them from benefiting from invisibility against you.
- Level 13: You have a +4 to hit to attack with this weapon. Creatures dealt damage by this weapon are marked by you for 1 day and cannot benefit from partial cover nor three-quarters cover against your attacks while marked in this way. Additionally, you can see a faint outline of the marked creature and can sense their direction and distance as long as they are on the same plane of existence, preventing them from benefiting from invisibility against you or hiding from you.
