Artifacts are magical items made by artificers. They serve two main purposes: to enhance or supplement the abilities of a spellcaster, or to allow non-spellcasters to use magic through devices that hold mana. The main building block of artifice is the mana battery, which is capable of storing a particular aspects of mana in a similar fashion to a cores. There are domestic artifacts, such as cars that run on air magic or ovens that run on fire magic, but more important to the story are the combat-oriented artifacts, which usually take the form of weapons or armor.
