Light Bulb just went on. How magic works? (Newbie)

The bug exists with any unit with more than 2 similar item slots. Try a nataraja with a dwarven hammer, hammer of the forge lord, dwarven hammer (in that order) to get a 100% forge bonus.

The game only checks if the items next to each other are the same. If unit has enough slots for there to be another item between two items that otherwise would be recognized as identical, the bug causes both items to affect.

Wait, wouldnt 100% forge bonus mean free stuff?

[Zen]

Minimun forge requirement is 1 gem, regardless of bonus.

However, 1 gem is damn near free, especially when you're talking about the expensive items - ring of wizardry for 1 astral gem anyone?

[Zooko]

A 100% Forge Bonus? Does that mean you pay zero percent of the listed gem cost to forge items?
