"Artifact" basically just refers to any magical item. Some artifacts are gathered from magical beasts (which is what the blog post was referring to), since they have magic in their bodies. Others are previously non-magical items that become magic through use of a spell. And then artifacts can be mixed with each other (think: potion brewing) or re-combined with spells to create all kind of complex magic! :D Some artifacts are more valuable than others. In terms of "natural artifacts" (which is a term I came up with just now to describe artifacts gathered with magical beasts), the value of it depends on how potent it is as well as how difficult it is to obtain it. Unicorn horn is very expensive -- they're the most powerful artifacts around, and unicorns are fairly rare. Pegasus feathers are more reasonably priced, as there's a decent enough number of captive pegasai and their artifacts are not nearly as powerful.Demi-humans are racial minorities huh? From what I've seen, people love playing the unique stuff so it's funny when there's like 90% minority characters. Maybe we'll all be part of an embassy or something.
Also I keep seeing artifacts mentioned in the blog post. What are they? Can they be made by anyone (or is there a special process to it)? Are they particularly expensive (or even priceless)?
There'll be more on artifacts and how to use them when I get into explaining how magic works. :D
