Artefacts within the Weave come in three kinds, Exotic, Unique, and Awakened.
Exotic Artefacts
Throughout The Great Weave you will come into contact with various exotic artefacts. These artefacts are very rare, but not one-of-a-kind.
Arcanoscope
Artefact
An arcanoscope is a mystical device that allows those without Witch-Sight to observe magical energy while also rendering its constituent colours visible. They range in size, complexity, and accuracy from simple monocle-sized versions to massive contraptions larger than an Ironweld Steam Tank. The astromancers of Azyrheim keep the secrets of their construction close.

Kronuscounter
Artefact
A kronuscounter is a derivative gadget specifically designed to monitor the levels of amethyst magic present in a given area.

Arcanoscope
Exotic Artefact - Azyran
This mysterious device is used by the astromancers of Azyr to see the flow of magic through the realms. An array of cogs, dials and bizarre instrumentation, ringed by the sigils of the eight winds of magic, allow those with the skill to interpret the workings to gauge the levels of each magic present in any given place – and the spooky hourglasses are designed specifically to count the levels of amethyst magic in the wake of the Necroquake.
Unique Artefacts
