Rune Crafting currently refers to the smithing system used to transfer magical item properties by converting them into '''runes''' and applying them to other items.

== How It Works ==

# '''Extract''' one supported property from a donor item into a rune.
# '''Apply''' that rune to a compatible target item.

General rules:
* Extraction always destroys the donor item.
* Applying a rune always destroys the rune.
* Full GP cost is charged only on success.
* Failed attempts charge a tax equal to '''10%''' of the full cost, minimum '''1gp'''.
* Extraction DC is based on application DC:
** '''Extract DC = ceil(Apply DC x 0.8)'''
* If you apply a property that already exists on the target item, the system does '''not''' merge or upgrade it automatically. It simply adds another property, which may be redundant.

== Who Can Use It ==
* You need at least '''5 base Smithing ranks''' to use the forge or mold station.
* Buffs and equipment do not count toward that requirement.

== Supported Item Types ==

Smithing currently supports:
* Weapons, except ammo and throwables
* Shields
* Medium armors
* Heavy armors

Smithing does '''not''' currently support:
* Robes
* Light armors
* Ammo
* Throwables

== Donor Restrictions ==

Items cannot be used as '''extraction donors''' if they are:
* plot-marked
* bound
* relic
* tailor-made or enhanced outfits from the tailoring enchant path

Items cannot be used as '''molding donors''' if they are:
* plot-marked
* bound
* relic

== Compatibility Rules ==
* Weapons and shields: the rune must match the '''exact base item'''.
* Armor: the rune must match the '''exact armor type'''.
* The target item must also support that property type.

== General Limits ==
* Normal items can receive up to '''3''' successful smiths.
* Molded items can receive up to '''7''' successful smiths.

== Skill Focus ==
Skill Focus: Smithing provides two benefits:
* lower GP costs
* better extraction value retention

Property caps still apply even with Skill Focus.

== Smithing Property Tables ==

* Maximum rune value with Skill Focus: '''+3'''

== Molding ==

Molding creates a new blank smithing base from an existing item.

Rules:
* The donor item is destroyed.
* No roll is made.
* Base molding cost is '''500gp''' before discounts.
* The molded item keeps the original item's appearance and base identity.
* Only the owning smith can smith or edit it, though DMs can bypass this.
* Applying runes to a molded item gets an additional '''0.9x''' GP discount.

== Final Note ==

Rune Crafting will continue to be adjusted over time, especially GP costs, DC values, and supported item categories.

If the system works well, it is expected to expand to more item types in the future.
