'''Augmentation''' is not a skill itself, but is an important mechanic, with 4 different secondary [[Augmentation]] skills. It can be confusing at first, [[Augmentation]] as a mechanic involves either breaking down Magic gear for materials, or Extracting specific mods from gear. There are 4 different types of [[Augmentation]]: Jewelry, Weapon, Armor, and Ancillary. Each one is a skill with levels and experience that breaks down different gear types, and each is leveled independently of each other. Details are listed below. While [[Transmutation]] lets you '''change''' the treasure effects (mods) on your gear, '''Augmentation''' lets you '''add''' one additional treasure effect (mod) to a piece of gear. With [[Transmutation]] you ''distill'' items into phlogiston and use a transmutation table to make changes. With Augmentation you ''decompose'' items into beads and baubles in order to extract a mod from one item and place it on a different item.
