Deed

Bring 3 Rune Stone. The attuning frame's tuning stones are worn smooth. Bring three rune stones and he recuts the frame in front of you; watching that is the first half of the lesson.

What it does

Retunes a focus (wand, rod, staff, orb or tome) so its basic spell becomes another of the old spells. That is the left click for a main-hand focus and the right click for an off-hand one. The rite writes an Attuned rune, a Weave rune that counts as one of the item's two runes and as an affix. The choices: Firebolt (3 ember essence); Frost Shard (3 frost essence); Chain Lightning (3 storm essence); Poison Cloud (3 verdant essence); Arcane Missile (3 arcane essence); Drain Life (2 arcane essence + 2 bloodroot); Earth Spike (2 essence of any kind + 2 geodes). Staffs only: Fireball (4 ember essence + 1 magma core) and Frost Nova (4 frost essence + 1 frost crystal). Every choice also takes 1 rune stone. The focus keeps its damage roll, level and other affixes. Its element and mana cost follow the new spell (fireball 2x, frost nova 1.6x). Attuning again replaces the old attunement. Heal is left to the Healing school.
