How does a PC create artifacts using HârnMaster Magic?
In the HârnMaster I and Shek P’var module rules, one could make a minor artifact simply by casting ‘Store’ on it and storing a spell. This is not possible in HârnMaster Magic; ‘Store’ is now a major artifact spell only. In order to create a minor artifact, one must use a spell which can store itself. ‘Focus’ is one such spell. Similarly, major artifacts must contain spells which are designed to be installed in a major artifact. Here are some basic tenets of artifact creation: • If a magical artifact exists, there is a spell or spells which corresponds to its power(s). • If a spell description does not say it can be installed by itself in an artifact, then it cannot. • If a spell exists, a version of the spell can be made which can be installed in an artifact (though it may have significant restrictions). • A major artifact by definition contains multiple spell effects, a minor artifact contains only one. • A major artifact requires some kind of ego or will to manage its multiple spell
