LISTs will include all relevant keywords for MECHANICs, ARCANAs, and RELICs.
MECHANIC: Itemized Relics
All relics are rewarded in their itemized forms, which are much alike to a usable
trinket (i.e. spellbook or mana crystal).

Itemized relics are lost upon death or leaving the server. They are not saved.

Using a itemized relic will overwrite the relic you currently have equipped in your
Relic slot (visible on the inventory screen). Bestowing a relic to another player
will grant them the itemized relic corresponding to your current relic.

RELIC: Runeborn
type: Passive Combat Relic
ability: Upgrades Runic Shield to tank 2 spells instead of 1. Tanking a spell while
shield is active returns 20 mana to the user. Extends Runic Shield's duration so
that it can be popped immediately after expiring.

RELIC: Hunter's Charm

type: Active Curse Relic
ability: Activate to charm nearby players with light blue particles. Players
affected cannot run or dash, but take less fire damage. 30 second cooldown for
casting, longer cooldown for debuff re-applying.

ARCANA: Kadei
type: Long-Range Targeted Arcana
ability: Click to begin casting. Once channeled, one huge circle appears above your
head. Shortly after, a massive Cadea chain flies to where you were pointing. 30
second cooldown, 25 Mana cost, 25 base damage. Cannot be properly Runic shielded.
Cannot be blocked. Extreme knockback in the direction your player is facing.

MECHANIC: Insight Cap

The insight cap is 500. Going over deletes the extra insight.

ARCANA: Solis
type: Medium-Range Homing Arcana
ability: When casted, summon 10 spikes from the ground to deal minimal damage.
Ignores Runic Shield. Stuns slightly. ~8 base damage. Costs 10 mana, 1 second
cooldown. Automatically targets the nearest non-faction member, or if none are
available, centers around you.

ARCANA: Raudonas
type: Close-Range AOE Arcana
Ability: Click to cast a spell where a red circle appears on the ground around you
for a quick moment. Does ~14 damage to the people in the circle on cast and
inflicts burn. Costs 17 Mana. Cooldown 15 seconds. Can be put out by dashing. Can
be countered with runic shield. Can be interrupted.

RELIC: Lightshot
type: Active Utility Relic
ability: Click above you to pull yourself towards that point at high speed. Can
launch yourself significant distances. Cannot be used in combat. 8 second cooldown.

MECHANIC: Server Shutdowns

Servers are told to automatically shutdown at a random time after 19 hours have
passed. Do not do anything important in servers where 19 hours is about to pass; it
is better to find a newer server because that one could close at any moment.

ARCANA: Daemonium
type: Enchantment Arcana
Ability: Click to coat your weapon in black flames for 25 seconds. Increases weapon
damage slightly, and inflict black flames. Black flames do 1 damage per tick and
cannot be put out by dashing. Black flames last for 5 seconds. Total extra damage
is 10. Flames are unaffected by Blank Canvas. UNKNOWN MANA COST CURRENTLY

MECHANIC: Lunar Phases

Lunar phases shift between three distinct modes.

The Aphelion phase grants players higher health regeneration, less damage taken
from NPCs, and more NPC mob drops.
The Perigean phase grants higher NPC coin and experience drops, while also granting
NPCs more damage.
The Penumbral phase increases the aggression of NPCs, while also increasing the
mana cost of spells. Relic and arcana droprates are also increased, along with
insight gains.

Phases occur on the following days, and change at 0:00 GMT/UTC, or 8:00 AM in your
current timezone. Days are determined by the current day in UTC. Times listed are
the shifting times, tuned to one specific week as an example.

quickly. Rocks have collision. Deals around 18 damage. Hits multiple times when
blocked. Can be blocked. 30 mana cost, 35 second cooldown. Damage is negated by
Runic Shield, but knockback is not.

MECHANIC: Weapon Upgrades

Travelling to Fortune allows you to meet the Mastersmith, who offers to upgrade
your weapon. You require a significant amount of experience above the amount
required for a title to do so.

For all weapons except Axe, the upgrades are as follows: PRICES ARE APPROXIMATE
100-250 coins: Lowered M1 combo cooldown
After ending your M1 combo, you can start a new M1 combo faster.

500 coins: Lowered M2 recovery cooldown

After using your M2, you can use M2 again faster.

1000 coins: Lowered weapon skill cooldowns

After using skills, you don't have to wait as long to use them again.

Axe only has the last upgrade. Purchasing the last upgrade unlocks the Leviathan
title.

Upgrades per weapon persist if you swap weapons; upgrades do not persist if you
prestige. (UNCONFIRMED)

MECHANIC: Dissonant Names

Players can use someone's ingame dissonant name to bestow certain things onto other
players, along with some other fun commands.

Players can obtain their own dissonant name from the NPC Shade, located in a hole
in a building in the Grey Garden. Players can also reset their name to something
random by sacrificing their name.

Commands must be performed by chatting, which can reveal the dissonant name of
others. Use /e <command> to hide the command if you do not wish to publicly use
someone's name.

A list of known commands is detailed below.

Notation for command list:

> <Name> - other player's dissonant name
> <SpellName> - a spell's name that you own
> <RelicName> - a relic's name that you have equipped
> [Option1/Option2] - specifies that either Option1 or Option2 work for the command

Bestowing

target. Cannot be used if the user would die in the process. Has a lengthy
cooldown.

target. Cannot be used if the user has less than 50 mana. Has a cooldown.
~
<Name> bestow insight - Removes 5 insight from the user, and gives 5 insight to the
target. Insight gained/lost is affected by the faction bonus. Has a 3 hour

~
<Name> bestow <SpellName> [spell/arcana] - Removes the specified spell/arcana from
the player, and gives it to the target. Cannot be used if either player is in
combat. Spells can only be re-obtained through the use of a spellbook. Arcanas
cannot be re-obtained.
~
<Name> bestow <RelicName> relic - Removes the specified relic from the player's
relic slot, and gives the target an itemized relic. Cannot be used if either player
is in combat. Please refer to MECHANIC: Itemized Relics.

Fun Commands
<Name> say [text] - Causes the player to say [text] above their head. Includes
anything except <Name> and say, including any text between the keywords. Cannot be
used to make other players say commands.

The following commands cannot be used if the target player is combat tagged.
<Name> [fall/sleep] - Causes the player to ragdoll.
<Name> kneel - Forces the player to kneel, and prevents movement for 2 seconds.
