Notes[]
- No text is displayed to show the increased damage on the weapon in the Inventory screen, but the player can view the Arcane Statistics screen to see the increased damage
- Fire/Ice/Electric/Poison embers added to the shield have no effect on the weapon's damage (Physical Armor ember was not tested)
- The effect of Fire/Ice/Electric/Poison enchantments of the shield add to the weapon's damage is hard to debug. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. (Any updates here will be welcomed.)
