Emberforge

Emberforge 1.2.1

Apotheosis Compatibility (optional - only active when Apotheosis is installed)

• Emberforge gear now gets Apotheosis gem sockets based on its main material:
  • Netherite tier and up (Netherite, Star Metal, Tri-Steel, Primal Steel, Resonance Steel, Echo Shard): 2 sockets
  • Iron tier up to below Netherite: 1 socket
  • Weaker materials: no sockets
• Which part decides:
  • Armor: Core
  • Tools and weapons: Head
  • Bows: Upper Limb
  • Crossbows: Prod
  • Shields and Bucklers: Core
• A Sigil of Socketing can still add more sockets; the higher number counts.
• Emberforge weapons are sorted into the right Apotheosis categories, so gems apply their matching effects (light weapons, heavy weapons, bows, crossbows, shields, armor).

Heavy Weapons

• Warhammer, Mace, Flail, Poleaxe, Cleaver, Hammer and Lumber Axe now break shields like an axe: a raised shield is disabled for 5 seconds.
• These count as heavy weapons for Apotheosis; everything else (Longsword, Spear, ...) stays light.

Poleaxe

• New ability "Hook" (replaces the old Disarm, which every heavy weapon now has): a fully charged hit applies Hooked for 2 s (50% slower, no jumping) and pulls riders off their mount.
• Netherite armor shortens Hooked by 20% per piece.
