Double-sided coin.

Tome of Tongues: (150-200cr, or however many others think it should cost)

With this tome you are able to learn up to 2 racial languages. If you are a bookbinder or your race has a racial language, this will be in addition to the languages you already know/can learn. You must be in a library to use this artifact, and must STUDY . Once the Tome is used up, it bursts into flames. You can only every buy this artifact once, so choose carefully which languages you wish to learn.

Alternatively: Once per Lusternian year, you may switch any language you know with a new one. First, you must OPEN TOME, then SWITCH WITH . Once used, the Tome will lock and will not unlock for a year.

Interesting ideas. I actually really liked the Achaean system of learning languages with special lessons combined with gold. Each new language you learned cost exponentially more gold, which makes a sort of sense from a "rich people get more education" perspective.

Kobold's Doorknob (10 credits) - While you hold this charm in your inventory, any unlocked door or locked door for which you possess a key will be automatically unlocked, opened, closed and locked again when you move in that direction.

Seems it would be useful in Celest, and maybe for shopkeepers too?

I find healing stones and the healing properties of gems/stones really interesting and as a healer in the game I'd like the following artifact:

Healer's Stone
Cost: 200-300 credits

Could do something like: (one or two of them NOT all of them)
*Reduce the length or intensity of insanity healing for the healer
*Increase the range of farcure/farheal
Make auras last twice as long
Cut aura drain by half
Touch/Rub stone to cure one random afflction per Lusternia day

I'm not sure if this should be an artifact or in the commander skill, but I'd like to see something that lets you siphon energy without aetherbeasts attacking -- or at least no attacks for a certain time limit on it/certain amount of power.

I don't have the dingbat items to port instantly to the bubbles, so I use fusion on my ship to get there, but that runs the ship out of power. When I find a vortex, I immerse in it so as to stay still, but I only get one pulse and then get instantly pummeled for half my ship's strength and have to run back to the commander chair to try and escape. So not really gaining any power.

Yes, it can be done with multiple people on the ship, but I don't want to always have to rely on rallying people to go out just to fill the ship with power so I can use the feature that I spent my credits/lessons on. Especially as I'm just using the ship to go to the bubbles to influence/bash.

I like the aetherships but some independence would be nice for quick travelling purposes.

I don't think anyone uses vortices for that, they use their own power to funnel it into the chair.

Oh? How do you do that?! That would solve the problem!

PILOT FUNNEL 10 ENERGY...or something. Ask IG I guess.

Thank you!

How about an artifact that prevents forced movement when in the ocean? Demesnes are not affected.

It's an auction artifact, and I expect it to be released to the public eventually.

Ah. I retract my idea then.

I really want one of those, too!

Gift Of Polygamy 100 credits
Touching the artifact which should look like a ring would automatically propose to
the person your proposing to.

Touch Polygamy (one time use)
Grants a second honors line for a second marriage.
Pretty much like the dagger for reincarnation purposes.

What better way to say I'm not quite satisfied with you.

yep! or if you have to many woman to go around.....

Custom perfumes. Write the scent, but it wouldn't have the influencing effect unless you mixed it with one of the other ones, but you'd still have the custom scent.

Make it like the... Diamond Perfume Bottle or something.

A Rune of Eloquence that increases the end result of influencing. If you empower a denizen then he's raised to a higher level than if you didn't have the rune. Weakened denizens are lowered more. Successful charity gives you more gold. Successful seduction makes the denizen in love with you longer. I've never understood what making a denizen paranoid does, but whatever it is, it would last longer.

Symbol of Imperium: lets you tie cartels together to a master cartel, which provides some additional benefits. You know, like that awful April fool's joke, but real.
