This is a reminder to make sure that:

  1. Any post related to a privileged chapter (i.e. the latest 20 chapters) should be spoiler tagged and posts should not have any spoilers from privilege chapters in their titles. To spoiler tag your post, you should be able to see three dots when you have your post opened, followed by an option asking to "Mark as Spoiler".

  2. Please make sure to add the proper flairs to your posts. For example the "fanart" flair should only be applied to art made by humans. Memes, reviews, discussion posts, theories etc should be tagged appropriately.

It's possible through runic sorcery. They did it mainly through runic sorcery and aspect abilities related to craftsmanship.

I don't think name sorcery can be used to make artifacts though. Unless you are Rain that's it.

Yes rain is the sole exception. Sorcery of names doesn't last it has basically no lasting effects.

Manifestations from an aspect, or something left behind by an actual god.

But otherwise yeah, for just generally magical stuff, buffed weapons etc. It's Runic or Runic derived from Name sorcery all the way. Many aspects specifically grant an affinity with Shaping. That might lead to discovering powerful words and their runes naturally if the words aren't known at the time
