Synopsis
artifice <item being created>
Description
The artificers of yore are more than legends, but they are typically so soft- spoken and generous that the mechanical and magical creations they've made always attract more attention than they themselves do. Equally feared and admired for their immense powers through history, in the recent past they have, through collective action, decided to make their kind and their art more accessible and more egalitarian.
Although their creations reside at the intersection of art, engineering, history and philosophy, it can be easy for even novice Adventurers to learn to ply the artificers' trade. As this is multiple entire disciplines, many pieces can be crafted with no more than its constituent elements; many more pieces may require that the experience granted by a Mark be possessed, or the assistance of a more learned artificer, or perhaps simply a specialized tool within a room.
