Saber Of The Light's Edge\\
<tt>Artifact ••\\
Orichalcum Slashing Sword\\
w/o MM: Speed +6 Accuracy +3 Damage +4L Defense +3\\
w MM: Speed +7 Accuracy +4 Damage +4L Defense +4\\
Requires: Strength 2; Commitment: 7</tt>

Crafted from the finest steel alloyed with Orichacum, this mighty slashing sword was forged to be swift, precise and deadly. It has within it a minor preadatory intelligence and will only submit to those it finds worthy (i.e. those that the ST wants to have it). Contains a Slot for a Single Hearthstone.\\

This is mostly just a hunch, but this seems like more than a level 2. That's an awful lot of +Everything for a level two, and I'm having a hard time getting the math (as per the errata) to work. I'd say just go ahead and make this a level three or four artifact and it's no problem. -[[EJGRgunner]]

Well here is my math, it worked out as far as I could tell.

Basic Level 2 Artifact Weapon\\
Speed +0\\
Accuracy +0\\
Damage +8L\\
Defense +0\\
Min Str 2\\
Commitment 5

Add Melee requirement +1 to damage\\
Add Dex requirement +1 to damage\\
Increase Commitment Cost by 2 levels (to 10m) +2 to damage\\
+6 to speed = -3 to Damage\\
+3 to accuracy = -3 to Damage\\
+3 to Defense = -3 to Damage

Unless Increasing the Commitment cost is supposed to increase the artifact level it should still be level 2. - [[Malikai]]

I went and tried creating the same item with the Rules over at [[DariusSolluman/RevisedArtifactCreation]] and it came out almost exactly the same. With another plus one to Defense Actually.

Base Item: Slashing Sword\\
Artifact 2\\
8 bp and 2 gifts\\
Spd +6(2), Acc +3(6), Dmg +5L(10), Def +4(4), Min Str 1, Commitment 7\\
Gifts: Hearthstone Slot, Terrifying Might (+2 bp)\\
Flaws: Inefficent lvl 2 (+2 bp)
Total Points: 22\\

Malikai, I add it up and it looks like you should have a total of 12 points and 2 gifts to spend on this artifact. By my count, you've spent 16 points and 2 gifts. Am I missing something? - SilverMeerKat

Slasshing sword base Item (spd +3(1), Acc +1(2), Dmg +2L(4), Def +1(1)) 8 points, Artifact Mods (Spd +3(1), Acc +2(4), Dmg +3L(6), Def +3(3)) 15 points......crap, you're right. before he switched the system a bit, each time you too inefficent it increased the attunement cost by 1 artifact level and gave 2 build points. when I stripped off the inefficent bp to bring it down, I guess I didn't Take off enough stuff. If I take off another point of damage and a point of defense that should make it okay. Thanks for catching that. - [[Malikai]]

This artifact is slightly overpowered. The Reaper Daiklave has nearly identical stats (one less speed, 2 less commitment, no hearthstone slot) and is artifact two. Up the stats some more and make it an art3 slashing sword. -- [[DODurden]]

As I said on one of the others, these Desgins were made Pre-Player's guide, that's why it doesn't have a rate stat. - [[Malikai]]
