“Fazula, like many wizards, was obsessed with power. She claimed this belt was crafted by Vyr himself, but I doubt that. Like many, she wanted to benefit from another’s notoriety. What cannot be denied, however, was its effectiveness.” -Abd al-Hazir

Fazula's Improbable Chain

This belt solves the Wizard's classic ramp-up problem with Archon: normally you have to grind out stacks before the transformation reaches full power. With the chain you start with a generous number of stacks, so you dive into Archon mode with substantially higher damage right away.

The belt's power only works for the Wizard, and it is indispensable for any Archon build that thrives on quick, hard-hitting transformations. Practical tip: your Archon stacks expire as soon as the transformation ends – thanks to the chain, each new entry still starts at a high damage level right away, so you never lose momentum.

What a single stack is worth

According to the Archon description, each enemy killed in Archon form raises your damage by 6% for the remaining duration, and those are exactly the stacks the chain hands you at the start. The number rolls between 40 and 50, and a Primal Ancient copy always gives 50. Since every single stack counts, the difference between a low and a high roll is noticeable. On top of that come Archon's base effects: 30% more damage plus 150% more armor and resistances for 20 seconds.

Archon runes that work with it

Because the chain upgrades every single transformation, transforming more often pays off: Pure Power cuts the cooldown from 120 to 100 seconds. Combustion sets off an explosion for 3680% weapon damage as Fire when you transform, and Improved Archon raises the damage of Archon abilities by 50%.

Stats and Vyr's name

From the random main stat roll (416–500) you want Intelligence; Vitality, Life % and Armor round the belt out. It is often worn with Vyr's Proud Pauldrons, Vyr's Astonishing Aura, Vyr's Grasping Gauntlets, Guardian's Gaze, Guardian's Aversion and Squirt's Necklace.

Fittingly, Abd al-Hazir relates in the flavor text that the power-hungry wizard Fazula claimed Vyr himself crafted the belt. He doubts it, but concedes that its effectiveness cannot be denied.
