Weapon modifiers
Weapon modifiers alter eligible weapon statistics; which modifiers apply depends on damage type and the statistics that weapon has.
How it works
The modifiers page says modifiers change a weapon's statistics and can affect up to five statistics. The available groups depend on damage type: ranged modifiers can affect velocity, magic modifiers can affect mana cost, and summon modifiers can affect armor penetration or summon tag damage. Weapons without a relevant stat cannot receive modifiers that alter it; some weapons have narrower eligibility.
