Frost Venom links Poison to Chill, Volatile Poison links Poison to Burn explosions, and Sacrificial Pact supplies conditional recovery; none is verified here as a universal best relic.TalentsEmberward Talents: Progression and Known ChangesEmberward has permanent talent progression, but the collected research does not contain a complete 1.0 talent tree or a verified best purchase order.
