Encrust System Reference - dredmor-com/dungeons-of-dredmor GitHub Wiki
This page will teach you some of the particularities around the encrusting system. Encrusts are similar to craft recipes, with some added complexity added to them.
Encrusting recipes are added through use of the <encrust> tags. Please note that you can use most to all of the Buffs in the recipes, too.
| <encrust> | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Input | Description | Example |
| name | string | Name of the encrust. | name="Polymer Shell" |

| tag | string | The crafting station and skill used to craft this item. | tag="tinkerer" |

The 'instability' tag previously explained, and as seen in the [Instability] page, is a possibly adverse spell effect that your equipment might acquire if you apply too many encrusts. This spell may trigger when you hit an enemy and viceversa, which might possibly make your dungeoneering life hell on earth.

|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Input | Description | Example |
| name | string | Name of the Instability. | name="Exploder" |
| spell | string | The spell added by this instability. | spell="Grenade Self" |
