The Bless Mechanic

[Lateralus]

+1 to Chris' suggestion.
So we can have Blesses, Enchant and... Auras maybe?
It would be fun that once you pick an Aura you need to stick with it. You can't change it.

The 2% item could be an Ember (OH MY I USED THE NAME.) that grants an aura to an item and a very small div bonus.

If temples do allow blessing, its going to be 2x or 3x the cost. I don't particularity like the idea but it shouldn't ruin the reason why bless teams would be made, in any case.

I'd be fine with it costing quite a bit to make blessing teams more attractive.

As for the embers I really like a small div bonus that might be an oad / drop but I'd like to see it kept as simple as possible since decking an item is already a bit confusing to an outsider itself.

I think the embers wouldn't require anything. You gain it from a boss drop, and throw it on a weapon. Simple mechanic. Gives items a whole new interest too when selling/using/etc.

I think upgrading embers is meh though and I want to keep it simple. One ember, one bonus. Though if people prefer upgrades then I'll go with that.

Let's talk about this in another topic, its getting out of topic though.

I think keeping it to 1 ember would be the best and simplest solution.
