Augments for Everyone... I am Corinth, Head Augmenter of the Augmenter's Guild of Statehelm. And I am writing this book to help fix a very serious problem: our poll of soldiers and warriors visiting Statehelm shows that almost half of them don't use Augments. Some warriors don't even know what they are! Fools! These warriors are fools! And I will not stand idly by while their ignorance gets them killed. I must teach.

Augments are powerful enchantments that can be placed inside a weapon or piece of armor. The equipment doesn't need to be special at all: any piece of equipment can have an Augment installed into it! From a pointy stick to a razor-sharp Sword of Excruciation, they can all become stronger with the help of an Augment.

You may already have magic equipment, but Augments can carry thousands of different enchantments. Surely your weapon doesn't have every enchantment, does it? No. But with an Augment, you can add one more!

And you needn't stop with just one Augment! While each piece of equipment can only have a single Augment in it, you can add an Augment to every single piece of clothing or armor you're wearing. Imagine the power! Imagine the possibilities!

“But Corinth,” I imagine you saying (and here I must admit that I imagine your voice to be whiny and irritating, for I assume you are an imbecile that I must tutor). “I'm not a trained Augmenter. I can't create Augments!” Of course you can't. You're a warrior! You don't need to create your own Augments. Simply buy them from us! There are professional Augmenters all across the world. And our merchandise is for sale from shopkeepers everywhere!

“But Corinth,” I imagine you saying (while sniveling like a child). “Even if I purchased an Augment, I couldn't install that Augment!” That is correct. You should never try to install an Augment yourself! Doing so could cause a tremendous explosion, and in rare cases horrific transformation. Instead, visit your local weapons or armor shop. Most shopkeepers have been trained in Augment installation, and can install it for a small fee.

“But Corinth,” I hear you say, hopping up and down and flailing your arms. “There are so many Augments to choose from! What if I install the wrong Augment and change my mind? I'm paralyzed with doubt!” While it is true that removing an Augment is difficult -- too tricky for the average bumbling shopkeeper -- you can seek out a professional Augmenter to help you remove it. The old Augment will be destroyed, but your weapon or armor will be fine, and you'll be able to install a different Augment in it.

“But Corinth,” I hear you say. However, I have had enough of your gibbering. The time for complaints is over! Become the best warrior you can be: go and buy some Augments right now!
