Nexus Rune is a special non-transferable artifact every coven has. The main purpose of this magical item is to wake the sleeping powers of a place having potential to become a Power Place.
Nexus Rune can be charged with a combined effort of all coven members during a glorious battle. Rune is activated when coven defeats a particularly strong opponent or wins a notably difficult challenge.
When activated, the Nexus Rune can be used to by the coven leader to:
- Capture a power place controlled by Pirates
- Charge one of the already captured power places with magic, effectively postponing the next fight for a place
The Nexus Rune is activated for a single use, multiple consequent activations won't stack. More importantly, an activated Rune must be used within 3 days after activation, otherwise it will cool down and become inactive once more, its magical powers dissipated.
You can use the Nexus Rune to capture a power place if a coven doesn't control a place of a specific kind yet. If your coven already has all possible kinds of power places - you can only charge existing power places.
The Rune can charge a power place when it has lass than 7 days of time left before the next bidding. Charging power place with the Rune wipes all its upgrades out.
