The Galdr Table is used to craft:

⬆ Galdr Table Upgrades
Upgrades increase the Galdr Table level, allowing higher-quality magic gear.
| Upgrade Piece | Materials Required | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Rune Table | Refined Eitr, Black Marble | +1 Galdr Level |
| Arcane Stand | Yggdrasil Wood, Eitr materials | +1 Galdr Level |
Higher levels unlock full upgrades for Mistlands and Ashlands magic items.
🔋 Eitr System
Magic gear relies on **Eitr**, a separate resource pool provided by:
- Eitr-based food
- Mage armor sets
- Late-game crafting items
Without Eitr-generating gear and food, magic weapons cannot be used effectively.
