I just finished the game and realized that there is this thing called "Runes"
And you can slot them into your weapons to make them stronger. That is all. Very good to know for my next playthrough lol
And before you ask, yes, I'm stupid. I'm a hoarder when it comes to items in soulsgames, so I didn't even bother to check what these Runes do.
