A swirling tempest of souls and steel: knights and blacksmiths and weaponmasters, all bound to weapons they once held in life. To fight one is like fighting an entire army.

Useful Info

An Undying armoury can temporarily upgrade the weapons of 5-7 nearby allies. Those weapons tend to be top-tier items, with good plusses (from +4 to +9), and any brand, making possible normally unseen weapon/brand combinations: eg, a triple crossbow of distortion. These summoned weapons disappear once the monster is felled. They can also cast a damaging spell that also summons a short-lived dancing weapon near its target. Undying armouries appear in the Vaults.

Tips & Tricks

Undying armouries are priority targets, as their weapon gifts don't persist on death.

 ==Useful Info==
-'''Undying armouries''' are a vortex of weapons, animated by a poltergeist formed from the souls of numerous smiths and weaponmasters. They can temporarily grant copies of a top-tier summoned weapon to 5-7 nearby allies. Also, undying armouries have a mini-[[iron shot]] spell that spawns a short-lived [[dancing weapon]] near its target.

+<!-- TO BE RESEARCHED: is there a timeout on the bestowed weapons? Or do they persist for as long as the Undying armoury lives? Can it be affecting 5-7 new allies each time the spell is cast? Or are only 5-7 allies affected at any one time? -->
