In this thread, place kind-of realistic artifacts which are nevertheless overpowered. No insta-kill-over-range or anything like that - be creative. After looking at some of the artifact auctions on other IREs I started to go "Hmm, imagine if we could buy this..."

Clearly, these are not meant to be implemented.

Most of the artifacts auctioned at the other IRE games

Hey, Mag gods are cool. Easy to come up with junk for. I say the Morgy one gets nerfed and put in, in honor of McAwsomegod

I would buy this.

Imperian lets you do this by default now. If you learn to fabled in your class skills you can switch to a different one and learn it, then switch back.

Even if they sold for 3000cr, I'd probably have saved money on class changes by buying one. I would absolutely adore this, or even better, the Imperian profession system. Let's see, I've been Moondancer (back and forth between Hexes and Healing about three times), Hartstone (Runes twice, Dreamweaving twice, Ecology), and now a Spiritsinger. It adds up quick.

Amulet of the Divine
+3 stat bonus across the board, unweightened.

Essence of the Dead
Permanent lichseed defence. Lich also costs no experience.

Sigil's Undoing
Be able to always bypass eye sigils as ghost / soul / dreamweaver etc.

Elixir of Divine Vitae
Like Vitae except you do not lose defences or experience. Also works twice in a row.

Amulet of Teleportation
Teleport freely despite anything that would hinder your otherwise. IE teleport to and from monoliths, or bypass distortion.

Rune of the Divine Spark
Quadruples damage from demigod zap and also removes the seperate zap balance.

Rune of Greater Evasion
Walk past a blocked exit as if it was not blocked at all. IE bypasses block, stonewall etc.

Ialie's Wrath
Enable your shout to slay people instantly. (If people don't know what this is, go dig it up in quotes)

Tully's Finest Broom
Sweeps anything and anyone from the location (including other players) and throws it to a random location across the realm, and can be used in any situation.

The Fate's Pendant
Once activated, anyone who performs any agressive action on you is slain instantly. Works on passive effects as well (ie if you get hit by a demesne, the demesne owner dies, regardless of their location). Stays up until you perform an action. Can be used once per ig day for 1p.

The Supernal's Mercy
For 1p heals all your afflictions and also stops all insta kills that were started on you. Additionally, throws you to Raziela (provided she's alive and the room's a safe room) otherwise throws you to the Portal of Fate.

If this was changed to anyone in the room and once every IG month, it would be viable...

waitaminute I've seen this in Aetiola

I know, but this one has less restrictions. That one you still have Circles (which don't exist here anyway, apart from power restrictions) and you have to relearn the skills (faster, no lesson cost, but still time-consuming). Plus you can do this with tertiaries, and you don't need to either a) get a high guildrank, or learn your skills evenly across the board.

Level 4 wounding/stat runes.

And level 5.

Why not just go all the way to 100, if you want overpowered?

one shot, one kill?

One-swing beheads and amputations.

With no power expenditure.

Broach of Amnesty
Go ahead and kill whatever you want wherever you want with this broach, because everyone already forgives you for what you did.

Rod of the Drama Queen
Once an RL Day you may dub someone a Drama Queen. By doing so, you prevent them from emotion and using says with emoticons. To use, DUB (person) DRAMA QUEEN.

Can of Harden Up, Princess
You may drink this once a RL Day. Allows you to instakill someone who's on your enemy list by noobie kicking or noobie punching them. Works only once a day.

Fain's Pink Panties
By wearing these, you will heal an affliction every second, and if your afflictions are healed, you will regenerate health. And you will feel awkward. Highly awkward.

Regarding the profession system business:

I would adore Lusternian admins if this was implemented here. The division could be based on organizations. Hell, I would like it even if it was just implemented for tertiary skills (so a Shadowdancer could transcend Hexes, Healing, and Astrology, and switch between them as needed with a minor time cost but 0 actual lesson cost.)

Can you imagine how much money they'd make from Geb once he realized he could transcend Stag, Moon, Tracking, Bonecrusher, Blademaster, Pureblade, and Axelord... and then runed up a set of weapons for each style?

See, I spew nothing but good business decisions.

And then the money that the other Demi's would spend to be able to counter him?
