It's an enchantment Lya personally would be able to replicate, though getting it into mass production does not seem viable at the moment. To craft it requires not just knowledge of rune-crafting but also but a deep understanding of the Void, the kind that might drive most enchanters mad.

That's fine.
What about the base Winterbane enchantment? Is that something that can be done by whatever other enchanters are granted leave to learn runesmithing?

What we need is for Lya to research a new version of the Magic Army spell. The base spell is 7th level and quite amazing since it can affect so many allies over a huge area.
If she should create a version which only confers a +1 Enhancement bonus, but also grants the Voidbane property, all affected weapons would effectively have a +5 Enhancement bonus and +4d6 damage vs the Others, Bloodstone Emperor, and all of their minions.
Is this possibke, @DragonParadox? Maybe as an 8th level spell?
That one is fine so long as they don't actively poke the knowledge for deeper secrets through experimentation. So just screening against mages who are both ambitious and foolish should be safe.
It is, but I would call that a 9th level spell and no base enchantment, the wepons would only count as magical against servants of the void (unless they are otherwise magical of course). That is a lot of damage on that scale.

From Zero to Hero!
So, it would be a +4 attack and +4d6 damage vs Void as a 9th level spell? Sounds really cool.

So it would be best to equip those troops with Imperial Steel weaponry, then.

Awesome.
Now I really want to find a champion to wield this: Imperial Steel + Flaming + Fey-Bane + Undead-Bane + Void-Bane
Imperial Steel means that every fire enchantment is automatically Searing, and it's got Ghost-Touch built into the metal.
And then everything else...
Every Legion with Imperial Steel. 👌

That sounds fair. The Enhancement bonus itself wouldn't be any higher than a default Magic Army spell, but it would also add the +4d6 damage.
Magic Army – d20PFSRD

At 20th caster level, such a spell would affect all allied weapons with a 1200 foot radius for 20 hours.
I know what Lya is researching as soon as she levels up.

Are you sure you don't want that Baleful Teleport facilities to come first?That sounds fair. The Enhancement bonus itself wouldn't be any higher than a default Magic Army spell, but it would also add the +4d6 damage.

I was eyeing it as a project for her for the 2nd month...

She's got Runecrafting in general to work on first. I'd prefer she get started studying Runestone, Storm's End, and the Wall.That sounds fair. The Enhancement bonus itself wouldn't be any higher than a default Magic Army spell, but it would also add the +4d6 damage.

hey guys? can we steal the observitory? like we did with the tavern that one time, it sound like a cool place to research for runecrafting later. just you know, teleport it to outside the wall then have some of our massive flying creatures carry it over the wall/around it then teleport it to a semi permanent home in the south

A single-use item with a 9th level spell costs 765 IM. Only Lya would be able to craft them, but single-use Voidbane Army spell items would be immensely useful. She could craft a bunch of them for us to distribute among the Night Watch, the Legions, etc.
Lya is still a pretty good way off from leveling up. She should be able to finish research on Greater Baleful Teleport well before then.
There are two Lya's at the moment. One can be researching Runecrafting while the other researches spell creation, in between adventuring.

Teleporting North of the Wall using spells of 5th level or higher is impeded by the Builder's Anchor ward. We could technically exceed the caster level limit of the ward, but it was implied a while back when we asked Bloodraven about doing it that there could be repercussions. I'd rather not accidentally that ward.

i thought the problem was teleporting past the wall, my bad. still want to find a way to loot that building tho, a load of unknown runes is a very nice find

Ooh, @DragonParadox, is this a hint? Are the Others going to send a major response after us?
Given all the things you have been pocking it seems more and more likely yes.

Excellent, I'm really looking forward to it.
Regarding the tower, I assume Lya's just going to jot down all the runes she sees for later experimentation?

Perfect. 👌 This has been a very fruitful expedition overall.
Thank the Old Gods for overly ambitious Thenns.

The Old Gods do not really agree with the sentiment, if it had not been for Dovak and people like him a lot more runelore would have been preserved, not to mention there would be a lot more Thenns alive.
