The quills are nice, but it would probably be good to specify -how- they help with complex calligraphy and things. Perhaps reducing the difficulty by one or two points, or adding one or two points of automatic success? Remember that perfect tools, which aren't common but are possible to make without TOO much difficulty using only mortal sorcery, can already add +2 dice to a task, and the far more common exceptional tools add +1.

BuzzChild 's Trinkets and Useful Artifacts
So here are artifacts that do varying things!.
I posted the first that came to mind for now...more to come...
Go back to BuzzChilds User Page, or go back to Buzzchilds Artifacts
All material within is 1st edition
Trinkets
Little artifacts with varying degrees of power.
Collapsible firepit ~ art 1 ~ Green and red jade ~ 0 committed
This is essentially a jade cube that opens flat on the groudn revealing a red jade interior that ignites 1 mote. The fire burns until the box is closed.
Variation
Cooking Stone ~ art 1 ~ red jade ~ 0 committed
Essentially a small portable grill made of red jade that heats up for 1 mote.
Travel Glass ~ art 1 ~ Black Jade ~ 0 committed
This is essentially a jade cup, available in multiple styles, that fills with water for a single mote. It is rumored that other variations exist in green jade that provide wine and spirits.
Jade Secretary ~ art 2 ~ any jade ~ 0 committed
A jade quill available in multiple designs that writes what its user dictates. The quill writes in the language spoken and can use any form of handwriting the the user can actually perform, easing the strain of complex calligraphy. In addition the quill writes in any color and on anything without the need for ink and can still be used manually.
Variation
Jade Forger ~ art 3 ~ black jade ~ 2 committed
A black jade quill that writes what its user dictates. The quill writes in the language spoken and can use any form of handwriting the the user can actually perform, easing the strain of complex calligraphy. The quill also remembers the handwriting and signature (if signed) of any person who has used the quill since attunement, granting the user 2 automatic successes on forging someones handwriting. For 1m the attuned can change his handwriting to someone elses, for another mote the quill will sign someone elses signature. In addition the quill writes in any color and on anything without the need for ink and can still be used manually.
Useful Artifacts
Useful artifacts that offer advantage!
Mast Growing Stump ~ art 3 ~ Green Jade ~ 5 committed
The stump of a large tree transformed into green jade by powerful sorcery. When placed on the deck of a ship and committed to it roots into the deck and grows a wooden mast, boom, and spars as necessary. If (more like when) the main rigging gets damaged, the stump will repair it at a rate of 1 lethal an hour, including repairing damaged sails and lines. If the mast get destroyed the attuned can immediately grow an all new mast including new rigging (minus sails and lines) for 5 motes and 1 health level worth of fresh blood dropped onto the stump.

Comments
Feedback welcome. Please yell at me if i do something wrong!
The quills are nice, but it would probably be good to specify -how- they help with complex calligraphy and things. Perhaps reducing the difficulty by one or two points, or adding one or two points of automatic success? Remember that perfect tools, which aren't common but are possible to make without TOO much difficulty using only mortal sorcery, can already add +2 dice to a task, and the far more common exceptional tools add +1. If you don't want to add a fairly big bonus, dropping both quills by one point of artifact might be justified. The forgery one is very cool though, I enjo the possibilities for stories it makes very much. The mast growing stump is also nicely thematic.
