At Namco Bandai's pre-E3 demo, we were also surprised to learn that Mage Knight: Apocalypse will have a rudimentary crafting system in place. In a nutshell, you'll be able to acquire components from enemies that you can use to create potions with a variety of effects. You do this at cauldrons that are scattered throughout the game's cities. Some enemies will also drop "Mage Stones," which will work much like the socket system in Diablo 2 -- you pop them into a weapon, and its performance will somehow improve. Once you get bored of a particular stone, you can yank it out, thereby losing it forever.
