A weapon can carry up to '''four special modifiers''', drawn from a single pool of twenty-two. Those four slots are the whole limit - there is no separate allowance for any kind of modifier. You cannot choose which ones you get - both materials reroll, and the appraisal panel tells you afterwards what you ended up with and how strong each roll was.

	Specials are '''separate from the weapon's tinker budget'''. A weapon still has its ten tinker slots, and an imbue still reserves one of them, but a special costs nothing out of that budget: neither material adds, removes or reforges a tinker any more. Tinkering and weapon mods are two independent things you can do to the same weapon.		Specials are '''separate from the weapon's tinker budget'''.

	~~There are~~ '''twenty-two''' special modifiers in ~~three groups~~. '''~~Four~~''' are written onto the weapon as a rating you can see on the item itself. '''~~Nine~~''' change what happens in the moment of combat~~, and '''nine''' more are~~ '''~~utility~~''' modifiers ~~- they~~ do not add damage, they cover everything around it: costs, regeneration, enchantments, defense.		All '''twenty-two''' special modifiers draw from '''one pool'''. A weapon's four special slots are filled from this single list in any combination - nothing is reserved and no group has its own allowance, so a weapon can finish with four combat modifiers, four utility modifiers, or any mix of the two. The only thing that narrows the pool is the weapon itself: a weapon draws only from the modifiers marked for its type.

			The '''Group''' column is descriptive, not a limit. '''Property''' modifiers are written onto the weapon as a rating you can see on the item itself. '''Combat''' modifiers change what happens in the moment of combat. '''Utility''' modifiers do not add damage; they cover everything around it - costs, regeneration, enchantments, defense.

	Five older modifiers - Swift Flight, Life Leech, Mana Leech, Stamina Leech and Overload - were '''retired''' when the utility wing arrived. They no longer roll from any pool and no longer do anything; a weapon still carrying one gets nothing from it, and a Tourmaline reroll replaces it from the current catalog.

'''Weapon Mods''' let you retinker a melee weapon, missile weapon or caster using two salvage materials, trading its existing tinkers for a fresh random set or for a chance at rare, hard-hitting specials. It is the weapon-side counterpart to [[Equipment Mods]].

== Overview ==
Every weapon has a budget of ten slots. Imbues keep their own slot for free; everything else in that budget is either an ordinary tinker or one of thirteen rare special modifiers. Two salvage materials rework that budget in different ways - one wipes it and refills it at random, the other trades one slot at a time - so which one you reach for depends on whether you want a clean restart or you are trying to protect a hand-tinkered weapon while still fishing for specials.

Applying either material is a use-on-target action: put the salvage in your pack (not equipped), then use it on the weapon, also in your pack and not equipped. The game always asks you to confirm before either salvage is spent, since neither can be undone.

=== Materials ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Material !! What it does
|-
| Tourmaline || '''Reroll''': strips every tinker and special the weapon carries and refills all ten slots at random. Imbues and slayer are untouched. Cheap and repeatable, but nothing about the result can be chosen, and the tinker spread it leaves behind is deliberately a mixed bag rather than a focused build.
|-
| Amethyst || '''Swap''': destroys one random filled slot (a tinker or a special, never an imbue) and replaces it with one random new modifier. The only way to keep a tinker base you chose by hand while still fishing for specials, at a much steeper cost per special gained.
|}

Both materials come as a full salvage bag, consumed whole on a single use.

== The slot budget ==
A weapon always carries exactly ten slots between imbues, specials, and tinkers - the total never changes, only the mix inside it. A weapon can hold at most '''three special modifiers, ever'''. That cap is permanent: once a weapon holds three, nothing can add, replace, or reroll a fourth without a full Tourmaline reroll, which wipes all three back to a fresh random draw.

The Amethyst swap has its own extra requirements on top of the shared ones (an eligible weapon, workmanship present, both items in your pack and unequipped):
* The weapon must already be '''fully tinkered''' - all ten slots filled. A swap trades one slot for another; it will not fill an empty one.
* The weapon must hold '''fewer than three specials'''. At the cap, Amethyst refuses outright - only a Tourmaline reroll can change the set from there.
* A weapon finished by a [[Prismatic Drift Stone]] is sealed against both materials; its tinkers can never be reopened by them.

Only melee weapons, missile weapons and casters are eligible. Shields and ammunition cannot carry a weapon mod.

== Available modifiers ==
There are '''13''' special modifiers, split into two groups that behave differently. '''Six''' land as a bonus written directly onto the weapon - the kind of flat rating boost you can see on the item itself. '''Seven''' work invisibly instead: they add no visible rating, but change what happens in the moment of combat - stealing a sliver of health, mana or stamina back from a hit, striking harder on an opener, casting a shade faster, occasionally casting for free, or steadying you on a killing blow.

The values below are the ceiling at a perfect roll on maximum workmanship; a typical roll lands lower; your weapon's appraisal panel always shows what it actually rolled.

=== Weapon-property modifiers ===
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Modifier !! At a perfect roll !! Weapon types
|-
| Devastation || +6 critical damage rating || Melee, missile, caster
|-
| Weak Point || +3 critical chance rating || Melee, missile, caster
|-
| Bloodthirst || +6 damage rating || Melee, missile, caster
|-
| Cleave || +1 cleave target || Melee only
|-
| Shield Bypass || 50% of a shield ignored || Melee, missile
|-
| Swift Flight || +6 missile velocity || Missile only
|}

=== Combat-triggered modifiers ===
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Modifier !! At a perfect roll !! Weapon types
|-
| Life Leech || 4% of damage dealt returned as health || Melee, missile, caster
|-
| Mana Leech || 4% of damage dealt returned as mana || Melee, missile, caster
|-
| Stamina Leech || 4% of damage dealt returned as stamina || Melee, missile, caster
|-
| Ambush || +15% damage against a full-health target || Melee, missile, caster
|-
| Quickening || +6% attack speed || Melee, missile
|-
| Overload || 20% chance a spell costs no mana || Caster only
|-
| Second Wind || Restores 12% of your maximum vitals on a killing blow || Melee, missile, caster
|}

== Getting the salvage ==
Both materials drop as ordinary salvage, and both are also sold outright by '''[[Salvage-Broker Bevan Tolliver]]''' in the Marketplace for one Trade Note each, as sealed bags. Use a sealed bag in your pack to break the seal and it becomes a full bag, ready to apply. For frequent use, Bevan also sells a Tourmaline Hammer and an Amethyst Hammer: multi-charge tools that work exactly like a single bag, but carry ten uses each before they're spent.

* [[Salvage-Broker Bevan Tolliver]] - sells both salvage materials as sealed bags, and their multi-charge Hammer versions.
