As several questions have been raised, and to avoid any potential confusion, this is how the new artifacts work:
Tomast's kitbag:
- CURE <player> to use it, heals all afflictions, restores all health and mana
- can only be used by the owner, and only on other players in the same room
- requires balance and no hinders, takes 1.7 balance
- has a 60 minute cooldown before it can be used again
An eerily shimmering belt:
- ASSUME GHOST FORM to use it, only the artifact owner can do this
- This gives a "ghost form" defence, which makes you safe from harm and allows you to bypass any obstacles (including doors and gates)
- Your body remains behind (technically it's a mob with your name); using any bashing attack on the body forces the owner out of the ghost form
- While ghostformed, the only commands available to you are directional movement commands, LOOK, MAP, and HUMAN; no emotes/says/etc
- The HUMAN command allows you to leave the ghost form
- All methods of leaving the ghost form cause you to return back to the room where you started, and where your body is located
- While ghostformed, others can see you move, and they can see you on LOOK; they can also target emotes/says at you
- You can enter cities and similar restricted locations while ghostformed
- Farsight shows the location of the ghost, not the location of the body
- Portals, prisms, and similar abilities can -not- be targetted at a ghostformed player
- If you find a way to leave ghostform without returning back to your body, it's a bug, report it, don't abuse it
- If you find a way to travel to a ghostformed player or attack him/her, it's likewise a bug, report it, don't abuse it
- The idea is that the artifact is an exploring/scouting/spying tool, NOT a raiding tool; in ghost form, you can watch, but can't affect your surroundings in any way, nor allow others to do so
- The artifact is also not an escape one, as your body can be attacked and force you back
Hopefully this answers any questions that you may have had about these!
