For the sake of completion, I've also included a breakdown of each material's gameplay effects, though that doesn't concern roleplaying. I've categorized them by type of effect rather than by material so it's easier to find the effect you're looking for. The order of combination makes no difference here; the effects are the same regardless of all of the above cosmetic elements.
- Item types
- Objects (the invention will be an Object if all three components are from this list)
- Adamantite, Blackpowder, Bone, Bronze, Geode, Gold, Ivory, Leather, Resonant Quartz, Tanglethorn, Venom, Void Rock, Wood
- Magic Objects (the invention will be a Magic Object if one or more of its components is from this list)
- Cold Iron, Crystal, Dark Steel, Demonic Hide, Draconic Steel, Ent Wood, Faerie Dust, Glimmer Cloth, Holy Blood, Mythril, Nymph Hair, Parchment, Pegasus Feather, Rune Stone, Soul Stone, Storm Core
- Followers (the invention will be a Follower if one or more of its components is from this list)
- Soul Stone
- Trinket (the invention will function as a Trinket if one or more of its components is from this list)
- Faerie Dust
- Armour (the invention will function as Armour if one or more of its components is from this list)
- Demonic Hide (unless in Harmony with Holy Blood)

- If you are defeated in battle and lost a Life, roll 1 die; on a 4+ roll, you do not lose a life, but you still lose the battle
- Draconic Scale (if in Harmony with Leather or Mythril)
- Mythril
- If you are defeated in psychic combat and lost a Life, roll 1 die; on a 5+ roll, you do not lose a life, but you still lose the battle
- Demonic Hide (unless in Harmony with Holy Blood)
- If you are defeated by another character in battle and would lose a Life, they must lose 1 Life as well
- Venom (if in Harmony with Tanglethorn)

- Gold

- Void Rock (unless in Harmony with Crystal, Ent Wood, or Rune Stone)
- Dismantle effects
- The invention cannot be dismantled

- You must immediately dismantle the invention and lose 1 Life

- Demonic Hide (if in Harmony with Holy Blood) – you must dismantle immediately
- Triggers Harmonies on the other Materials used
- Resonant Quartz

- Wood
Many of these effects are stackable, with powerful results. For example:- combining Dark Steel, Dark Steel, and Bronze produces a weapon with +9 to Strength in battle
- combining three Crystals together produces an item that raises your spell limit by 3
- combining Mythril, Draconic Scale, and Glimmer Cloth produces armour that saves you on a roll of 1+ (plus renders you immune to dragons' breath and prevents attacked enemies from rolling a die to add to their Strength)
There are even some undocumented synergies: combining Gold and Geode together raises the turn-in Gold amount from 4 to 11(!), despite this being mentioned nowhere in the descriptions of those materials. (Combining 2 Geodes with Gold raises the amount to 15, not the 8 you would expect from the documentation.) More bizarrely, and perhaps (probably?) the result of a glitch, combining Gold, Draconic Scale, and Cold Iron forces a character who rolls a 6 in battle to lose 6 life(!). I haven't tested the latter in play; I'm just going by what is printed on the invention.Right, so! Putting all of these roleplaying and gameplay mechanics together on a material-by-material basis produces the following:

Right! I hope this has been interesting, entertaining, and/or useful. Happy inventing and roleplaying! If anything here is incomplete, please let me know and I'll be happy to update it.imo you should publish this as a Steam guide rather than a simple thread, you will have a lot more visibility that way, and it will last longer too before it is forgotten :)
You would just need some picture (i guess you can take a screenshot of an invention you like), a description, and to cut it down into several sections.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/247000/guides/
And yes, please do as potterman suggests and post this as a guide.
I wouldn't mind seeing this pinned, at the very least. I never read it in full, but it looks amazing.
This has now been pinned!
Thanks, I'll look into that. I haven't messed around much with the guides, so the idea never crossed my mind, but now that you mention it...yeah, good idea.
Thanks! Certainly, I'm happy for it to be shared wherever it would help or amuse people.
Haha, nice! I recently crafted a nice Demonic Tiara of Wit, literally a devil sitting atop my head and giving me bad advice...and was promptly whisked away to the Warlock, having forgotten that I had an active "Deliver 1 Follower" quest. :/ Oops.
Great job ^_^
