Applying Prefixes to Your Hero Sheet

Once you know an item's Material and Element prefixes, they translate into the dice totals in the colored boxes on your Hero Sheet (White, Red-Fire, Orange-Energy, Yellow-Electric, Green-Poison, Blue-Cold, Purple-Magic):

A Material Prefix only affects an item's White dice (and sometimes Purple dice) if the item has an Attack or Defence value. Check the Material's own page (e.g. Silver, Wooden) for its exact modifier and add it to that item's Base Attack or Defence value.
An Element Prefix adds one die of that Element's color to Attack (if the item has an Attack value) or to Defence (if the item has a Defence value). Check the Element's own page for which color die it grants.
An Attribute Prefix does not add dice at all - it adds flat points directly to the named Attribute box instead.
Add up the totals from every equipped/carried item (Apparel + Accessory + both Hand slots + all 3 Bag slots) into the matching colored boxes on your Hero Sheet.
