- Fixed: These Special Effects can’t be swapped or exchanged.
- Transferable: These Special Effects can be transferred to another piece of equipment using the Soul Match function on the Blacksmith.
- Free: Free Special Effects don’t have an icon before them. They can be freely swapped by using the Temper function on the Blacksmith.
Umbracite
