View source for Artifact

'''Artifacts''' are [[wizard]]ly magical items that can be [[Fabrication Classification Identification|identified]], [[recharge]]d and used to obtain various effects.

See the list of pages about artifacts at [[:Category:Artifact]].

Previous research by Mythica Demonwright and Bremen Demonwright provided the initial recharging and damage data. It might have been updated since then.

*Recharging some of those is not worth it, for example you can cast [[Collatrap's Instant Pickling Stick]] to get more wands of pickling. Most artifacts are also sold rather cheaply, whereas [[purple mineral powder]] can be difficult and expensive to procure.
 
For what they do, until someone gets around to adding the artifacts to the wiki, see: http://www.gunde.de/discworld/sekiri/artifacts.html

==Usage==
Artifacts can of course be used in mundane ways 

A '''magic ring''' is used by wearing it and using '''twist'''.

A '''magic staff''' is used by holding it and using '''invoke'''.

A '''magic wands''' is used by holding it and using '''zap''' at an appropriate target.
