TEC can be increased by fighting with the weapon more often. The rate which a weapon's duration decreases is inversely proportional to the weapon's TEC score. When a weapon breaks, it leaves behind a weapon shard and cannot be restored. If duration of a weapon hits zero, the weapon will break and will no longer be usable. Each attack will decrease the duration of the weapon very slightly. Hit points are also gained in varying amounts depending on which stats were selected to increase.Įach weapon also has a score akin to hit points, called duration.

Enchanted weapons have increased statistics in comparison to their original form, and they are also endowed by one of the four elements.
