Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Mining Procedures

Blacksmiths must brave the dangers of Empyrean Mines in search of solidified magic to forge weapons, armor, and horseshoes. Should they strike deep enough, there is power humming beneath the slick rock of tunnels burrowing endlessly beneath Faewin.

[PTab=Rules]

You must read the Forge rules before proceeding to understand this system.
To mine damage and defense values, characters must first own a smithy and a pickaxe from the Galleria.
The tier of a pickaxe you purchase determines which values it is capable of mining. If you were to use a tier 5 pickaxe, it may mine any damage or defense value from 1 to 5.
Values can be split into multiple smaller values. For example, if you mine a damage value 12, you might divide it into damage values 1, 2, and 9 to be sold individually. Splitting is permanent, as values cannot be combined. The values must be of the same type; for example, you cannot split a defense value into a damage value.
Values are mined as solidified magic resembling gems. The crystalline sorcery can then be transformed into any needed component by a blacksmith. They may take on any appearance desired, from traditional irons to outlandish fantasy such as petrified shadows and swathes of moonlight.
To mine a value, create a thread here with the label "Mining" containing a 200-400 word IC post describing your character's attempt. Include which tier of pickaxe you are using as an OOC note, then post in Invocation to alert staff.
Staff will then post a dice roll with the number of faces equivalent to the tier of your pickaxe. For example, the dice for a tier 7 pickaxe would have 7 faces. The resulting number will determine which value your character has the potential to mine but does not guarantee their success at this stage.
Next, staff post a 2nd dice roll to determine if your character will successfully mine the potential value or if they will receive nothing. The higher the value, the lower your chance of success. For every value amount, dice face 1 always means you successfully receive the potential value that your previous roll determined and all other faces mean you receive nothing. The number of faces is equivalent to the potential value multiplied by 2. Therefore, potential value 10 would have 20 faces, with dice face 1 meaning success and 2-20 yielding nothing.
If your character receives value 16-20, it is automatically a damage value, as the defense range ends at 15. However, if it is value 15 or under, then a 3rd dice roll with 2 faces determines if the value will be for defense, face 1, or damage, face 2.
If the result is defense, then a final 4th dice roll determines if the defense value will be for physical armor material, face 1, or magical armor material, face 2.
You may attempt to mine every 72 hours.
