Hi everyone, I hope I can get some help with this one.

Pg 15 lists the Common Advantage of Artifact (1,2 or 3 pt cost). Does anyone have any guidelines that they use? If I can cast a level 80 spell several times a day...is that a level 1, 2 or 3? What are some examples that people have?

Thanks!!!!

That would probably be a level 7artifact considering that a level 80 spell in the pinnacle of what a human mage can achieve (without ceasing to be human) It probably wouldn't be very useful but the ability to cast it several times a day is the equivilant of at 200 zeon per cast 600 zeon a day.

It's hard to balance artifacts without understanding how all the magic systems work together..and combat. and there's advantages that are better for boosting secondaries. artifacts can be quite useful but in general magic wise I'd err on spells that are daily maintenance instead of attack ones since artifacts are static and won't level with you. Unless you cast using your own projection...There's ways to work almost everything.
