Overview

Lore Slot Abilities are powers placed in the Lore Slot of the Incarnate System. The Lore Slot Abilities are Click Powers which summon one or more controllable pets to your side at -1 to your level, but inherit any Level Shift or Incarnate Shift you possess. Each tree begins with a Common Lore ability which can then be upgraded into the Uncommon Core Lore or Radial Lore variants, available as of Issue 20. With Issue 20.5 12 additional lore sets were implemented, and Issue 24 added four more lore options.

Activatable Powers

Abilities come in four rarity levels. The higher the rarity level, the more Incarnate Components are needed to create them. Components drop in Incarnate System content, but can all be crafted with Incarnate Threads which drop from all play at level 50 and from Veteran Levels.
