After absorbing the runes into his eyes, the information have pierced his mind again, still causing enormous amount of pain, but Frank was already accustomed to it.

[The Magical Eyes]
[Tier 0 (evolvable)]
[Abilities:]
[Status - shows user's characteristics numerically][Can be evolved to {Inspection}, if user have enough knowledge about different creatures]
[Absorption - the artifact can obtain new abilities and evolve by absorbing different creatures' eyes]
----------------------
'Finally, I have some ability to see my stats! Now seeing my progress will become easier' thought Frank while activating the [Status] ability by agitating the runes in his eyes to move around his body and come into his brain, causing another burst of information in his mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Average mature human soul stats:
Intelligence(INT) - 1 (creativity, thinking capacity, speed of learning ect.)
Constitution(CON) - 0.45 (overall bodily strength, toughtness, regeneration and immune system's ability)
Stamina(STA) - 0.9 (speed of physical and mental energy recovery)
Agility(AGI) - 0.85 (speed of running, reflexes, reaction speed)
Dexterity(DEX) - 0.9 (fine motor ability, muscle memory, aiming)
Stealth(STL) - 0.05
Average of all human senses(SEN) - 0.6
(Not all of different senses are listed, because there're too many of them. There're also senses, such as hunger, thirst or pain, which are hard to describe numerically and aren't necesarry)
(Sight - 0.5
Hearing - 0.5
Smelling - 0.4
Taste - 0.8
Touch - 0.9
Temperature - 0.8
Proprioception - 0.7 (awareness of your body in space)
Intuition - 0.2)
One point in stat gives you an ability. These abilities aren't visible in the Status, they're just there. Like, for example, 1 point in Sight gives you an ability concerning eyes, like a better concentrated or peripheral vision ect. The multiplier on these abilities is (2x) highter than on the stat itself, meaning a human with 3 points in Sight with concenrated vision ability will have a concentrated vision of a human with 4 points in Sight but with peripheral vision ability.
Each full point in stat, raises a stat's multiplier by (2x). Human with 1 point in CON have CON multiplier of (2x), but human with 2 points have a multiplier of (4x).
Almost all creatures have their own specialisations, which gives them a better or worse initial multiplier for some stats. Initial multiplier (Im) is a multiplier, that creature have with their first point in stat, meaning a bird with 1 point in Sight will have a multiplier of (4x), but at the 2nd point in Sight the bird will have a multiplier of (8x), not (16x). The birds' CON stat's (Im) is only (1.5x) though.
Usually, the better the specialisation, the worse the disadvantage, but there're creatures with better multipliers and no disadvantages. Standart (Im) is (2x).
SEN stat is an average of senses, and if it reaches a full point, the creature will gain an ability pertaining to one of the senses, which raises this sense's multiplier by (1.1x). Each full point in SEN will raise this multiplier by (0.1x), meaning a creature with 2 points in SEN will have multiplier of (1.2x) applied to one of its senses.

(These stats are without him using the petrification or aura)
Frank staggered, not expecting so much information to come from one activation of the ability.
'So much math! Anyways, math isn't much of a problem, the stats are great.' Thought Frank, before another burst of information came into his mind, almost making him fall.
----------------------
[{The Magical Eyes} artifact have absorbed {The Compass} artifact and gained a new ability]
[Minimap - every place that the user saw will be recorded into a minimap in the user's mind. The minimap is always active and doesn't consume any energy][Can be merged with some types of aura].
----------------------
The runes from [The Magical Eyes] have absorbed [The Compass] when they were residing in the Frank's brain to give him his stats.
Mulling over the recieved information, Frank decided to continue inspecting the cubes. He knew that he couldn't buy anything from the golden cubes, but he still wanted to know what was in them.
After inspecting every golden cube in the shop, Frank let out an exasperated sigh. There were only 10 golden cubes in the shop but EVERY one of them had an artifact within.
Even though Frank couldn't have bought them anyways, he was still frustrated at his own short-sightedness.
'If I have enough luck I could find enough coins to purcase something, but that's very unlikely.' Thouht Frank while looking at one of the cubes longingly.
This cube held a [Tier 3] artifact within, it's name was a [Lightning Imprint] and it will give it's owner an ability to produce and control electricity. It was insanely overpowered in his eyes, because with enough practice you can fly, control metall, run at impossible speeds and so much more with electricity control.
Leaving a poor man's tear behind, Frank went into his bedroom. Lying on his bed, he took a book out of his bag. The book was titled ‹Runology for dummies›.
Frank's eyes were shining in anticipation. He opened the book and read the introduction.
[Hello, if you're reading this then you're probably an aspiring Mage wanting to control elements and such, but I would have to disappoint you. This book will have no rune controlling techniques, because the only technique that can help you reach greatness, is the one you have created by yourself.]
[This book will explain the basic rune types, basic rune combinations and basic artifact creation theory.]
[But first of all, do you even know what the runes are?]
[Runes are the building blocks of all things in the multiverse. Some abstract concepts are created by runes as well, but it's too advanced for your mind.]
[New types of runes are being created and destroyed by the void and only a small number of new runes avoid being destroyed, using their strange properties.]
[Everything in the multiverse, even the multiverse itself was mainly created using runes, that have beed created by the void and somehow avoided being absorbed back in.]
[The runes that have been able to avoid the absorbtion of the void once, in the span of infinite years of wandering in the void, were able to cluster themself, creating the first 1-dimentional Space. These runes, that have avoided absorption, were the Space Runes - the «first» runes in existance.]
[But as we know, a space without matter can't exist, so the first 1-dimentional Space was destroyed at the same time it was created. The cycle of creation and destruction continued for another infinity of time, until a second rune in existance have appeared in the first Space, at the ‹moment› of its creation, finally making it stable.]
[The second rune in existance and the first elemental/matter rune have appeared. It was a twin rune of Light and Dark.]
