No thanks to all of these combat artifacts.

Rune of Ethereal summoning would be a fun thing to have, even if it does just give more health. Or if it made fae uncrittable, that'd be nice too. Mages get the demense rune, bards get the song rune, warriors and monks get weapon runes, wiccans kind of get left out.

Sure, but you get to be balanced around the rune. So when you buy the rune, it puts their health to where it is now.

Wiccans get the shield rune.

So does everyone who doesn't use two weapons.

Pureblades don't get shield runes and they only use one weapon. BIGOT!

Artifact that will give the defences provided by benediction/maiden fae

Artifact that makes maiden permanent would be spammy but kind of awesome. Probably OP as hell, but awesome!

EDIT: Or just make the powercost of her zero!

Well, this would likely be an auction artifact and it's not specific to MD's. It'd be more like benediction with power cost so that the purpose would be for the 4 extra defs you can get.

Brain in a Jar (Manse)
-By putting this in a room, all enemies who enter this room will occasionally be afflicted by stupidity.

Manse defense artifacts gogo.

Yours would be. Mine would be a permanent tick of +willpower, +endurance, affliction cures, mana regen, or those defenses. Maiden (and Benediction if it works the same) is incredible in theory, but worthless for anything but the defs in practice. It's kind of annoying.

Manse artifacts like that would be cool once we fix up aethership combat, ramming, etc.

Charlie the Unicorn
Able to HARVEST KIDNEY 3 times per Lusternia month to receive a 500 boost to health that lasts until midnight.
Alternatively, you may GO TO CANDY MOUNTAIN and receive two random candies.

No. My manse needs more things in it. Also, I don't do aetherships, so this is clearly more important.

So bring on the Orb of Fog, Orb of Rain, Brain in a Jar, Gnome Fixy Slave!

While, we're at it, how about a sweet Unicorn's horn that only works during the daytime and let's you shoot a solar beam down a line of sight. Yes, I want pokemon moves.

My idea was completely original, thank you. I didn't need to resort to referencing internet, TV, or video game phenomena.

I want leech seed, which would be a neat thing, I suppose. A passive leech health over a certain period of time.

I liked your idea. It would most likely be something that spawns one halloween blessing candy per IG month. It just made me think of sweet pokemon moves for artifacts and so I jumped on that thought train.

In that case, I want a Sphere of Imprisonment. You throw it at someone, and depending on their number of afflictions and their health, there's a chance they'll be imprisoned for a certain period of time

I recommend being careful with Krellan's input. He likes to disguise powerful suggestions as funny things he just randomly 'happened' to think of, and most of his suggestions are, overtly or not, quite powerful. No offense, but we all know you're a little... sly.

I mostly agree with Rika with regards to combat artifacts, especially if they just amount to stacking up even more dmp/damage/health/speed/stats.
Also, please no more skill arties, neither as dingbat nor as auction arties.

Make powerplex jewels increase the maximum amount of power you can hold (not only from the powerplex income, but any gain of power) by 5% each, up to 125% max. That would actually make that artifact useful (with the current ease of gathering essence, the power gain alone doesn't really justify the credit cost).
