Contrary to the description, Psychometry will grant the ability to construct artifacts without needing the appropriate Tinker skill: only the base [[Tinkering]] is required to learn the the recipe, and [[Tinker I]] to craft at all. [[Mods]] cannot be learned through Psychometry. | |||

Using | If the player character has Psychometry, they gain an additional option with unidentified artifacts to "read history with Psychometry" and an option to "read early history with Psychometry" with known artifacts to learn the recipe. Successfully identifying an artifact with psychometry costs 1000 energy, which is one game turn at 100 quickness. As a mental mutation, this is affected by [[Two-headed]]. Using Psychometry to learn recipes or failing to identify an artifact does not cost any energy. Attempting to use Psychometry while confused gives the message "You strain to part the veil of time, but you are too confused.". | ||

Complexity is a number that all artifacts come with and are listed in their infobox. This is different from Difficulty, which is used to determine how difficult it is to correctly identify an artifact with a normal examine. | |||
==Advantages== | In addition to their built in complexity, any [[Mods]] on the artifact will also increase the complexity of that item depending on what mod is on the artifact. | ||
