Artefacts, Upgrades, and Consumables
Woven Artefacts
Throughout The Great Weave you will come into contact with various other artefacts. Some of these you will earn by accomplishing heroic feats or going on Quests, some you will find while on your journey. Below you will find the various artefacts, upgrades, and consumables and the rules that accompany them.
​
It is always best to tell your opponent what kind of upgrades you have before a game starts, this applies to Artifacts as well as consumables. Be a good person.

​
The Great Weave is meant to be played with the Woven Artefacts, these work the same as Awakened Artefacts found on page 76 of the Forbidden Power book. These Woven Artefacts will be given to (and sometimes taken away from) you by the NEO if you're playing with one.
Woven Artefact:
Onyxedge
This blade is able to capture the souls that ​die by its fall, giving the user their energies and power over their life after death.
​
Pick one of the bearer's melee weapons to be the Onyxedge. After each battle, Onyxedge gains a level of power if 3 or more enemy models were slain by attacks made by the bearer.
1st Level
Improve the Rend characteristic of Gheistbane by 1
2nd Level
Add 1 to Gheistbane's Attacks Characteristic
3rd Level
If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made with Gheistbane is 6, that attack inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any normal damage.
4th Level
Improve the Rend characteristic of Gheistbane by 3 instead of 1
5th Level
Add 3 to Gheistban's Attacks characteristic instead of 1
Consumables
​Consumables are one-time use upgrades that that disappear once they have been used. Some consumables are much more complicated than your every-day potion and can be crafted by collecting various different consumables in-between games.
When crafting complicated consumables, the original ingredients are used up, and cannot be used in a game.​

Consumable:
Godly Payment

Upgrades
Upgrades can be assigned to those with the HERO keyword. A HERO can only upgrade once, but you can swap out upgrades for any you own between games. Some upgrade all weapons and some only a selection. Be aware these upgrades work in addition to any Artefacts of Power. Sometimes upgrades can be given to those without the HERO keyword, if this is possible it will be written in the description of the upgrade.​
