Artifacts Symbolism – Magical Armor

Meanings of Artifacts Symbolism

Artifacts symbolism are objects infused with magical abilities, either created by gods or legendary creatures, or natural materials with amazing properties. Like foes, one can divide artifacts into certain broad categories we call templates.

Each template gives guidelines as to the purpose of that type of artifact and the kinds of extras and aspects it is likely to have. Each template has two examples; a “generic” artifact that the crew could find several and a “unique” one-of-a-kind item of great power.

If someone gains access to an artifact without paying its refresh cost they should be assumed to not fully understand it and not gain full access to its abilities. But, some may be available nonetheless, such as a Weapon rating for Excalibur or the ability to invoke Orichalcum’s aspect to see through illusions.

Magical Armor Symbolism

Armor protects its wearer from harm. Magical armor comes in many forms and from many sources. Abilities: Magically enhanced armor either protects perfectly from traditional harm, protects from unusual forms of harm, or minimizes the weight and restrictiveness of the armor.

Artifacts Symbolism

Thor’s Armor

Description: Made up of two pieces, the belt Megingjörð and iron gloves Járngreipr, Thor’s armor doubled his already prodigious strength. It allowed him to wield his war hammer Mjolnir without injuring himself. Permissions: First, one must somehow separate the armor from Thor, a difficult endeavor. Second, the wearer must be human in size and shape.

#3. Varying This Armor

You can split the two pieces up. Either piece can model a separate artifact capable of granting super-strength or invulnerability to fire. Alternatively, one can make them stronger by incorporating more of Thor’s abilities. One can gain an aspect of Rage of the Thunder God. This grants strength by giving the wearer the skill Lightning Control.

Other armor includes the armor of Achilles, which grants Invulnerability, the Tarnkappe. This makes the wearer invisible, and the shield of Evalach grants the owner Heavenly Protection.
