An "Artifact" (アーティファクト, Ātifakuto?) is a magical tool with a powerful effects applied to it. The effects can range from simple power-boost or increased sturdiness of an object, to the ability to cast even some of the most complex and powerful spells in existence. They are also extremely versatile tools, which could even have the effect any kind of Magic or Spell applied on them. Because of all this unique and powerful abilities, any Artifact of any kind is practically considered a national treasure.

As per the recorded history of Tortus, only two people in the previous and current era have been known to be able to create an Artifact: Oscar Orcus and Hajime Nagumo.

Origin[]

The actual origin of "Artifact" and "Creation Magic" is unknown, but they are hinted to have originated in another world, which got destroyed because of over-technological advancement. And this knowledge was brought to Tortus by the god Ehit and his surviving comrades, who were residents of that other world that managed to escape their when it was dying.

As per the legends in Tortus, Artifacts were created by the Gods and people who belonged to their bloodline. The knowledge of "Creation Magic" is extremely hard to achieve, or is rarely passed through the bloodline, much like the other forms of the "Ancient Magic", so production of an Artifact is extremely rare, and they are hard to be reproduced by modern means, without the aid of "Creation Magic".

Basics[]

In order to create an Artifact, one needs to be able to use "Creation Magic", one of the "Ancient Magic" belonging to the "Age of God". This branch of Ancient Magic gives the ability to 'interfere with any inorganic material', allowing one to change the shape and structure of any non-organic material as they want to, and also apply various affects on them, or enchant them with various forms of Spells. People with the "Job" class of "Synergist" have the highest affinity with "Creation Magic", thus have the best ability at creating an Artifact.

There are also other types of tools with magical properties, but not all of them can be considered. One reason being the level of magical enchantment placed on each item. Only those with a great enough enchanted abilities can be classified as an Artifact. In addition, many magical tools are empowered by a Mana Crystal, while an Artifacts' enhancement are cast on the material itself.
