Artifacts are alien technology found in dangerous places that have powerful effects when used. To activate an artifact, a character holds it and decides how much power to use. Rolling dice determines whether the artifact's power is activated. If a 6 is rolled, the user risks draining their mind. Artifacts can be recharged by those with alien knowledge to clear their usage. Examples of artifacts include weapons that shoot fireballs or rays, and devices that create darkness, force fields, or invisibility.

Using Tech To use Artifacts, your character must hold the Artifact in a hand and activate it. When your character uses an Artifact, decide on the power to activate it with, up to the number of usage dots remaining on the Artifact. Roll a number of d6 equal to the power the Artifact is activated with. For each die which shows the value 4, 5 or 6, mark one usage on the Artifact.
The Artifact has an effect, which varies depending on the number of [DICE] invested, and the [SUM] of the rolled dice.
Recharging Artifacts When an Artifact’s usage dots are filled, it is depleted of energy and cannot be activated. Each Artifact can be recharged by seeking others with alien knowledge. Doing this will return the alien energy back into the Artifact and clear all of its usage dots.
Artifacts 1 Misuses Alien technology is unstable when used by other species. Whenever one or more 6s are rolled when activating Artifacts, the caster rolls d6. Subtract the amount from your Mind score. Then make a Mind save. If failed, take the Drained Status Effect.
