Artifact User

General Overview: The Artifact User

One whose ability comes from or revolves around using a specific artifact/special thing.

These would be things like enchanted weapons, a special armor suit, or a magic mirror. This ability class is kind of like a blanket term for anything not covered by its own special ability artifact name. Some artifacts have a mind of their own and will only listen or do what the user wants to if they have enough experience or skill. The Physical shape and abilities of the artifact can vary to a high degree.

Powers: Since the powers and abilities can vary, these are more like examples.

* Form Change/Transform: Changing the artifact into another form. Sometimes this requires special conditions to be met, or special materials. This can be temporary, or it can last until the user wants to turn it back.
* Combine/Split up: In the example that the transformation allows it to combine with other like artifacts, or to split into others. An artifact user can wield multiple ones; however, it's still considered one artifact if the parts are meant to be one thing used as two.
* Use Materials: Some artifacts can use materials to form ammo, or as fuel, or for a temporary power up.
* Create Something: Some special artifacts can turn materials into something. Like an artifact with a slot that can craft things when stuff is placed into it. This could be anything from gear to monsters.
* Link up: Some artifacts have the ability to link with another, producing a variety of effects. Sometimes they produce a temporary effect, sometimes they can even unlock new features in each other. The effects of Link Up can be varied as artifacts are.

Recipes: Recipes vary depending on the artifact. Making a list would have to be specific to that artifact.

**Ability Levels**: Since artifacts can vary so much, this can be used to refer to the power level of the artifact, or the level of control/skill the user has with wielding said artifact.

Materials: That really depends on what the artifact can do. Some artifacts can create materials using something, or sometimes they can use materials or craft materials. It really depends on the object.

About the materials they are made from, it really varies from artifact to artifact. However, there are records of "artifact" kinds of materials that have been found, meaning it may be possible to make them.

Some examples have been included here:

* One kind of metal, called "Artifact Metal" has a naturally metallic amber brown. Hard to work with, an ingot of it was found by a mechanic who wanted to make a sword from it. An Alchemist found out that it has the uncanny ability to choose what it will be made into. The result was an almost puzzle like collection of pieces that refused to be put together by any means other than by hand. The resulting weapon was more complicated than expected, however it was still a sword. That sword could perform special Alchemy.
* A Black orb of slightly magnetic stone. Upon receiving the orb, the individual who received it was astounded by its reaction to seemingly random objects, attempting to pull them as if with a gravitational force. Upon trying to make something out of it, they found that only some of the materials they had would be moved by the orb. Finding the materials, the orb "Wanted" it assembled itself into a shield. It can magnetically gravitate materials into things.
* A stick shaped like a staff that can control plants.

Other Notes:

Since they vary so much, it's possible some artifacts can be enhanced by outside forces like an Enchanter's enchants. The effect said enhancements have on it might not work as intended if the artifact somehow changes the enchantment.
