Arcane Formulae are another COOL addition that has been brought in for the
Immortal Throne Expansion Pack.

Only Immortal Throne characters can use Artifacts, being the very powerful
items that are created when the recipe contained in an Arcane Formula is
followed, and the inventory slot for equipping such an Artifact is beneath
the body armour, and to the left of the bracers and greaves.

In order to create an Artifact you must :-

  1)  Find the Arcane Formula for the Artifact you wish to create
  2)  Locate the three reagents (ingredients) for the recipe
  3)  Present an Enchanter with the Arcane Formula, Reagents and MONEY; and
  4)  Reap the rewards !! :)

There are LOADS and loads of Arcane Formulae in Immortal Throne, and they are
divided up into three ranks, or levels, effectively, being :-

  1)  Lesser Artifacts  (available on All Difficulties)
  2)  Greater Artifacts (available on All Difficulties)
  3)  Divine Artifacts  (available only on Epic and Legendary Difficulties).

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that Divine Artifacts are the
BOMB, and boast some of the most amazing powers in the game.

In an attempt to be as complete as possible, I have written out those Arcane
Formulae that I, and those people that have assisted me by contributing to this
are of my guide, have encountered in the game, together with their requirements
and effects, the level you must be to use them, and their appearance in your
inventory screen (where we have made them into artifacts proper)

===============================================================================

however please note that this is not, at the present time, an all-encompassing
list of all the arcane formulae in the game, and so if you encounter any that
are NOT in my guide, please fill in the blanks (if you fancy), and I shall pop
the information into my guide, and (of course) give you full credit for your
contribution !!  Cheers :)

This guide is dedicated to Palladium Books and all the people that, in my mind
at least, made it great over the years - Kevin Siembieda, Kevin Long and many
others.  THANK YOU ALL for helping to develop my imagination as a boy - your
books have given me YEARS of pleasure, and long may they continue !!

Thanks also to Legend DaDennis for having contributed MASSIVELY to my section
on Arcane Formulae (he provided the information for the Chaos Cube, Cinderbolt,
the Crystal Tear, Pale Moon and the Shroud of Eternal Night, together with
confirming which Arcane Formulae you should be able to pick up on which
difficulty settings - he ROCKS !! :)

Thanks also to Matt Richardson for helping to further flesh-out my guide, and
fill in yet more of the blanks (being the Lionheart, Wraithguard, Spirit
Blight, Emerald Quill, Amber Flask, Raven's Shadow, Tongue of Flame, Hand of
Gaia and Poseidon's Net).  Cheers mate !! =D

Thanks to Azkadellia for confirming the Shroud of Eternal Night as well.
