Dye

Applying dye to this sword affects the hilt (the gold part of the sword in the image). It also seems to make the color of the dye appear a little brighter or off-tint (such as a yellow being a bright, slightly green color), when coloring the shaft in one color, the blade gets the inverted color in the icon. Before an update, Crystalline swords when dyed would affect the entire blade, tinting the crystalline blade a different color.
