Daikan Inomiz: Adding Ghastly Halberd to weapons with fixed shards

Shards are gemlike artifacts that slot into your Relics, Armor and Weapons. Shards replaced [[Skill Spheres]] system and item [[Passives]] (while some items with unique passives still drop but have only one shard slot). Shards give your hero or your defenses extra stats or abilities, all green shards can buff only defenses and can be placed only in [[Relics]], while blue shards will buff your hero and can be placed in [[Weapon]] and [[Armor]]. Shards can be moved between pieces of gear and be upgraded straight from your inventory. A weapon or piece of armor allows to hold up to 2 Shards and can only equip Hero (blue) Shards and relics can hold up to 3 Defense (green) Shards.

Shards drop from shard packs obtained from victory chest at the end of every map, there are different kinds of shard packs depending on difficulty: Campaign, Chaos 1, Chaos 2 etc. Each will drop from corresponding difficulty, but higher difficulties have a chance to drop packs from lower difficulties.
