 ====Artifacts==== ====Artifacts====
  
-Every item requiring Construction 8 to forge is called an artifact. Artifacts differ from regular items in that only one of each artifact may exist at any time (though if it is lost and not recovered it can be reforged by any player) and in that, using the default game settings, a player may only forge one artifact per turn. +All items requiring Construction 8 to forge are unique [[artifacts]]. Only one of each artifact may exist at any time. If an artifact is lost, it can be reforged by any player with Construction 8. If multiple players attempt to forge the same artifact on the same turn, one player is randomly chosen to succeed in the forging, while the other players lose the forging cost.

-Should multiple players attempt to forge the same artifact on the same turn only one of them will get it, the winner is chosen at random and every player contesting for the item loses the forging cost.+
  
 +Additionally, using the default [[game settings]], a player may only forge a single artifact per turn.

 Certain items allow the wearer to cast a specific combat- or ritual magic.
