Bound to Artifact

A spellcaster with this disadvantage is bound to a magical artifact. This could be the unfortunate result of a bad mistake while creating or binding the artifact, or maybe some other magical influence that created the connection. The artifact can be a Tradition artifact, such as a mage’s staff or an elf’s iama or soul instrument (a musical instrument with a strong personal connection), but not always; other items with strong personal meaning are also possible. The GM decides whether an item is suitable.
Rules: A spellcaster who doesn’t have direct skin contact with the artifact suffers a penalty of 1 to magic checks when casting spells. If the artifact is destroyed, the spellcaster has trouble casting spells and must create another artifact in order to remove the penalty.
