Marrowtithe

The runes, in order

Loam → Marrow → Wick, in sockets 1 to 3 of one item with exactly 3 sockets: a normal or magic weapon, off-hand and chest. The deepest of them, Marrow, first drops on floor 16.

• 1. Loamtier 2, from floor 5 · weapon +5% skill area · other +20 life
• 2. Marrowtier 4, from floor 16 · weapon +14% damage · other +45 life
• 3. Wicktier 1, from floor 1 · weapon +4% damage · other +12 life

The power

Each of your servants that falls heals you 3% of your max life and takes 1 s off your servant cooldowns. Ten servants falling heal 30% of your max life and take 10 s off your servant cooldowns. It works for the Bonecaller; any other hero wearing the item gets the runes’ stats and nothing more.

Cut into a weapon, the runes add

+5% skill area, +18% damage

Cut into other gear

+77 life

Smith’s price to empty every socket

150 gold

An inscription is cut when an item has exactly as many sockets as the inscription has runes, every socket filled, in the inscription’s order. A 3-socket chest with Brine and Quill in its first two sockets spells nothing: the count must match too. The inscription’s power works only for the hero it is cut for; on anyone else the item keeps its rune stats and the power sleeps. Emptying one socket breaks the inscription at once, and the rune in it is destroyed, so set the runes in order and only into the item you mean to keep.
