The great fixative: the offered magic item keeps to you in death, returns when thrown, never despawns, shrugs off fire — and its spendable magic never runs dry. Ankheg Armor and Dragon Heart levels are left alone.

How it works

Permanence is the great fixative. Crown its sigil with a dragon egg, hold any item that already carries Runic magic, and right-click the egg. The whole sigil burns away except the dragon egg, which survives the ritual.

The bound item then:

• stays with you when you die, returning to you when you respawn,
• flies back to your hand a moment after you throw it,
• never despawns,
• shrugs off fire, lava, and cactus,
• and never runs out of charges: every effect already on it becomes unlimited.

Only the void unmakes it.

Good to know

• Ankheg Armor and Dragon Heart levels stay as they are.
• Silkier Touch, Autogyro, Wraithstep, and Lock Zone items refuse it, and so do hexed and cursed diamonds.
• Permanence makes the effects already on the item unlimited, so bind the effects you want first.

See Charges for more.

Permanence has no settings of its own beyond the shared ones.
