I’ve been having thoughts of craftable ammunition, but obviously different to the other kinds that are craftable. So here’s my idea. Obviously, each type of ammunition would be specific to a variety of weapons, so these ammunitions would be disabled for use on other weapons that deal the same damage type. In addition to this, no extra weapon damage would be cast upon the original effects, much like the usual ammunition types and obviously unlike the resonating crystal, which deals additional 7% of damage.
