"A powerful staff sent in secret to Angolwen by the Shaloren, to aid their fighting of the plagues following the Spellblaze."

Hmm just read this Burb...are you a Forgotten Realms fan by chance? For the record, I love a lot of the lore and certain authors from the series.

Bola

Three metal balls, connected by a tough string.
Just like a shield, this 'weapon' is carried in the off hand. Once 'activated' the caracter twirls the balls over his head, and throws them at an enemy. Wrapping around legs/arms/wheherever hit, the Bola pins the enemy down with a chance to stun (and upon a critical hit does even some damage).
Long cooldown for this, as the Bola should only be usable once per encounter, but the player should be allowed to swap something else into the offhand (even a second set of Bola).

[Sirrocco]

...or perhaps the bola should go into the target's inventory when used.

Might be tricky to balance properly.

Also, not an artifact or an ego.

I'm not 100% confident of all the code being correct. For Lust I used "life_regen_on_kill", which may not exist.

Maybe the Gluttony mace should a reduced cooldown for Swallow? Although wyrmics default to two-handed weapons...

Suggestions for some egos

Massive Armour / Shield, perhaps heavy armour also

- Of Dawn

+2-6 Strength +2-6 Magic
+10-40 light damage on melee hit
+2-15% increased light damage

And its opposite

- of Dusk

+2-6 Strength +2-6 Magic
+10-40 blight damage on melee hit
+2-15% increased blight damage

Reavers are failed paladins, Wheras the Paladins got an A in light, the reavers got Blight.

Ego for axes

Raging - 1% chance per kill of triggering a rampage using players talent level and supporting talents if known, else as if 1 points in rampage

Rampaging - 2% chance per kill of triggering a rampage using players talent level and supporting talents if known, else as if 2 points in rampage

Egos for edged weapons

Thirsting - drains 1-10 life per melee attack

Vampyric - drains 11-30 life per melee attack

Keen - inflicts 5% weapon damage as a bleed effect

Vorpal - inflicts 10% weapon damage as a bleed effect

Blunt weapons

of Shattering - reduces targets armour by 2 for 5 turns (cumulative, possibly capped)

of impact - 2% chance to stun for one turn

Daggers

Blackened - +3 stealth

of Silence - +30% chance to silence for 2 turns on melee attack

Numbers to be tuned for balance and taste, of course

Here are some artifacts of mine. Code isn't tested, but I suppose it should work.

Typo in the last one's description - "new" should be "knew".

Gloves that give Throw Boulder would be funky :)
