And Fey Artifacts would be just plain silly

And Fey Artifacts would be just plain silly

Artifacts created out of pure unadulterated glee and happyness would be silly?

[Craftling]

It depends on the amount of unadulterated glee and happiness that the dwarf contains.

I don't know... Bronze Roses (with Thorned Vines) being crafted onto a Sword's Guard would look great!

That does sound pretty cool

I love the idea of artifact-only decorations. As far as the magic arc is concerned (or even the Artifact-arc), for now, they can remain just that: *decorations*.

Glowing runes, puzzleboxes that move on their own, etc. wouldn't have a mechanical effect on the game, only a descriptive one. Mechanical powers/abilities can wait until they come into their own time, but having Artifacts with unique appearances would add to the game, without (I'm guessing) requiring a whole lot of separate coding, and (I would guess) would continue to be of interest, even after the artifact and magic arcs get here.

The problem is that I assume that in the artifact arc, an artifact's appearance is usually going to be related to its powers (say, the flaming sword catches things on fire rather than freezing them, or whatever) -- which means that the "final" artifact-appearance generation system has to wait until then.  Anything done now would just be a placeholder.

I doubt anything will come of it until Toady does the whole job. I don't think he likes doing half measures.
