One of the new systems of Patch 12.0.7 is the Omnium Folio. This new system is the first mid-expansion power-up mechanic of Midnight. Learn everything we currently know about the Omnium Folio in this post!
Power-up systems like these have become a common addition for a few expansions now, and they serve as a way to soft-nerf content you may not have finished by the time of its release.
What is the Omnium Folio?
The Omnium Folio is a new system in Patch 12.0.7. It bears similarities to items like the 
Onyx Annulet and 
Durable Information Securing Container from past expansions. However, this time around, this mechanic does not take up a gear slot.
Instead, the Omnium Folio is a talent tree similar to the Reshii Wraps. It will take 5 weeks to fully unlock the Omnium Folio. Every week, you will have the option to earn a new talent point, with a few choices to choose from. In the first week, you will unlock your Core Rune, a new passive ability. Subsequent weeks unlock passives that further empower the effects of your Core Rune.
Once the talent row is unlocked, you are able to freely swap between options at any time. The Omnium Folio can be accessed from a button in your minimap, with a placement similar to that of the Renown details from the past few expansions.
Omnium Folio Abilities
Below, we have a list of all the talent options you can unlock via the Omnium Folio. Remember that you can only choose one talent per row.
| Unlock Week | Ability Choices |
| Week 1 (Core Rune Effect) | – Rune of Void-Touched Orbs: Every 10 seconds, you attract a void orb to you, up to a maximum of 5. Your attacks send these orbs at your enemy, dealing 2,745 Cosmic damage for each. Your healing spells send the orbs to the lowest health ally nearby, restoring 4,116 health for each orb. – Rune of Unleashed Fire: Your spells have a chance to call down a pillar of fire, dealing 2,745 Fire damage to an enemy or cauterizing the wounds of a nearby ally, restoring 4,116 health. |
| Week 2 | – Rune of Self Mending: When below 75% health, your Core Rune also heals you for 4,116 health. – Rune of Void-Tainted Shell: When struck for more than 10% of your maximum health, gain an absorb shield that will absorb up to 18,523 damage, but 50% of the absorbed amount will linger, dealing its damage over 10 seconds. The effect can only occur once every 30 seconds. – Rune of Lynxlike Reflexes: When struck in combat, increase your Speed by 115 for 10 seconds. Cannot occur more than once every 30 seconds. |
| Week 3 | – Rune of Lingering: The effects of your Core Rune leave behind a periodic effect that deals 2,745 Cosmic damage or restores 4,116 Health over 8 seconds, based on whether the target is an enemy or ally. Your Core Rune favors hitting targets that are unaffected by Rune of Lingering. |
| Week 4 | – Rune of Critical Power: The effects of your Core Rune increase your Critical Strike rating by 78. This effect can overlap. – Rune of Burning Haste: The effects of your Core Rune increase your Haste rating by 78. This effect can overlap. – Rune of Masterful Cunning: The effects of your Core Rune increase your Mastery rating by 78. This effect can overlap. – Rune of the Versatile Warrior: The effects of your Core Rune increase your Versatility rating by 78. This effect can overlap. |

After 10 seconds, an echo of all the damage and healing done by your Core and Lingering runes is repeated at 50% effectiveness. |
Unlocking the Omnium Folio
You unlock access to the Omnium Folio with a quick questline in the outdoor area of Magister’s Terrace, starting with The Magister’s Call.
In this questline, we learn about the artifact’s origins. It once served as a beacon of knowledge to the Magisters working in the Terrace, but the artifact abruptly stopped working decades ago. The Sunwell’s conversion into the Darkwell reawakened the artifact, and it is our job to stop it from spreading further chaos – and learn what exactly happened for the artifact to become dormant in the first place.
