Enchantments are magical improvements that can be found on melee weapons and the Boomerang only. It is the melee weapon’s equivalent to glyphs.
An enchantment can be added on a melee weapon (and the Boomerang) with a scroll of enchantment. Found melee weapons have a 1/(level+10) probability to already have an enchantment.
Enchantments have various proc rates (probability of the enchantment activating upon a successful hit) for their effects. This chance is increased with upgrades

When it procs, your weapon performs several additional damage rolls (ignoring target's armor) and selects the highest one. |

When this enchantment procs, a lightning is generated, dealing extra lightning damage to the enemy. It can chain to multiple enemies, but not to the Hero.
The damage is about 1/4 of the original attack damage for the first target. Each bounce reduces damage by about 25%. If the bounce target is non-flying and in water, the bounce damage is doubled for the target and the future bounces. The choice of the next lightning bounce target is a non-Hero random enemy that has not been hit by the lightning. |

Glyphs[]
Glyphs are magical improvements that can only be found on armor. It is the armor’s equivalent to enchantments.
The equations given in this article are only true if the armor level is ≥0. Any armor under level 0 has formulae the same as level 0.
Use[]
Every time the Hero is hit, there is a chance for the armor to apply an effect. For some armor, only melee (enemy and Hero in contact) have any chance of effect.
Glyphs/Inscriptions increase armor damage reduction.
Obtaining[]
A randomly spawned armor has a 1/10 probability to already have a glyph.
A scroll of enchantment can add a random glyph to a non-inscribed armor, or it can randomly change an already existing glyph to another glyph.
Table of glyphs[]
| Image | Glyph | Effect | Chance of Activation |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Bounce | Causes enemies to be pushed back after hitting the Hero. | Level+1Level+5

|
Level+1Level+6

|
Multiplicity | This glyph causes the Hero to spawn a Mirror Image but be damaged by 1 to maxHealth/6. This can kill the Hero, resulting in the endorsement of the badge - Death from a glyph.
|
Level2+6
|
|
Potential | This unleashes a lightning-style blast, which will damage the enemy that attacked the Hero and will damage the Hero by 1 to damageDone (on average half the damage done to the enemy).
This glyph can be used to obtain the Death from a glyph badge. |
Level+1Level+7
|
|
Metabolism | The Hero will be partially healed from 1 HP up to 1/5 of their total health, before the enemy damage is applied. Only applies if the Hero is not starving.

Viscosity | The Hero will obtain the damage deferred debuff, which will cause the Hero to receive 1 damage per turn, instead of receiving the whole amount in one shot (e.g. 5 dmg received = 1 dmg for next 5 turns).
This glyph can be used to obtain the Death from a glyph badge. |
Level+1Level+7
|
|
Displacement | Whenever the Hero is hit, there is a chance that the Hero will be teleported to a random visible tile.
Higher armor levels increase the chance of teleportation. This glyph does not work at boss depths. |
Every hit picks Level+1×5 random tiles in the level. If any of the selected points are visible, the Hero will be moved there.
|
|
Entanglement | The Hero may receive herbal armor with strength 5×level+1 but will also be rooted for 5-⌊level/5⌋ turns at the same time.

| Auto-Repair | This glyph suppresses the degradation rate of the armor. Upon being hit, it will cost you Gold equal to the tier of the armor with the glyph in order to repair the armor. | T.B.A. |

Glyph loss[]
When using a standard scroll of upgrade on an inscribed armor, there is a risk to lose that glyph.
Reforging armor via Troll Blacksmith also has the same risk as with using a scroll of upgrade.
