Edition and mechanic limits
- No spell-specific build choices are included because the passages do not describe enough named spells and effects for substantive spell records.
- Some source passages conflict or contain uncertain language, especially around exact infusion mechanics for innate elemental weapons; such details are excluded.
- No optimality, comparative effectiveness, patch state, or complete weapon compatibility has been independently verified.
