Melding
Two identical equipment can be melded to create a stronger version. The resulting equipment will have a +1 in the name and all non-zero stats are increased by 1. It can be further melded to a maximum of +9. The +X values of the two equipment to be melded do not have to match. Equipment can also be melded with a spellbook to imbue the equipment with a spell in the second slot. Both types of melding consumes one pure azoth.
