Ascension Medallions exist as permanent upgrades for weapons, which makes them ascend the progression line. The catch is that they can only be applied to pre-Hardmode gear; attempting to use Ascension Medallions on Hardmode gear yields a "this item is covered in the spirits you freed from the seal".
They can be gotten in a way I'm unsure of. Crafting a weapon with the medallion allows you to apply it to it, consuming the item. As was said earlier, Ascension Medallions cannot buff Hardmode gear.
For example, say you have a Wand of Frosting in one of your chests (in a non getfixedboi world). Apply the medallion to it, and it becomes ASCENDED. Ascended items gain a special purple gradient text with pink subtly. The title also becomes *modifier name* Wand of Frosting (Ascended).
Ascended Pre-Hardmode weapons become massively stronger and more fortified. They will deal 2 times the base damage of the original weapon, and will also attack 1.5 times as fast. This gives you the ability to fight with some Pre-Hardmode gear in Hardmode.
There are downsides to balance it. Getting these medallions would logically be hard, for example, and require earning them. Another downside is that Ascended weapons don't exactly buff weapons that are crafted with them. For example, if you were stupid enough to boost a copper shortsword, the ascended shortsword will not increase the strength of the Zenith.
Finally, Ascended weapons do not sell for much more than their regular counterpart, being only 20 percent more valuable than the regular tool, so farming with these is not smart.
