Aetherglass

In his hopes to find a way to destroy all of mankind, the researchers at the Dark Arts Academy created Aetherglass, a reliable way of creating substantially deadly weapons, stronger magical spells (against NPCs), and even grant greater protection from your enemies (NPCs).

 

TLDR & OOC: Aetherglass is a new system of crafting magical weapons, spellbooks, and bracers infused with slayer properties. You turn junk magic weapon and armor into Aetherglass bars. You can use these bars to craft a mid-tier Slayer weapon (for example: “an exceptional substantial katana of orc slaying”), slayer spellbooks (not newbie or blessed), or a new slayer protection item (take less damage from specific monster types)

Aetherglass is a new crafting component created as a byproduct of deconstructing magical weapons and armor. We’ll share the formulas on the wiki.
