Can the artifacts of a dead character be reattuned?
Yes, with great difficulty (or disturbing ease, depending on the plots of the GM). It requires at least the artifact’s level in Essence and character points – and may or may not work, even then. Further, if the item’s owner is not soul-killed, the original bond still exists, and will prevent any normal attempt to reattune it. (Naturally, de-Attunement or re-Attunement of powerful artifacts can make a nice adventure, even if the GM decides that it’s a job for a Superior . . . who will naturally want a favor done in return.
