 Artifact blasts are magical in nature, so [[gloves]] afford no protection, and [[magic resistance]] can reduce their damage. The circumstances you are blasted under and the damage dealt depend on whether the blast originated from an [[intelligent artifact]].
 ===Intelligent artifacts===
-When performing any of the above actions, intelligent artifacts will always blast you for 4d10 damage (reduced to 2d10 damage if you have magic resistance) and [[abuse]] your [[Wisdom]] if you additionally meet any of the following conditions:
+When performing any of the above actions, intelligent artifacts will always blast you for 4d10 damage (reduced to 2d10 damage if you have magic resistance) and [[abuse]] your [[wisdom]] if you meet any of the following conditions:

+* It is a [[Quest artifact]] and you are not of the associated [[role]]
 * You are of a different [[alignment]] than the artifact
 * You have negative [[alignment record]]
 * You are in the form of something the artifact specially attacks
-Additionally, if you are of the wrong role ''and'' fail one of the other conditions, the artifact will "evade your grasp", preventing you from using it. The primary effect of this is that you can only use another role's [[quest artifact]] if you are the same alignment as that object.
+Additionally, if you are of the wrong role ''and'' fail one of the other conditions, the artifact will refuse to cooperate with you. If you tried to take or wish for the artifact, it will "evade your grasp" and remain in its current location, or fall to the floor if wished for. If it was already in your inventory and you tried to equip or use it, it will be "beyond your control", unequip itself, and resist any attempt to equip, apply, or invoke it. Any effects that the artifact grants simply by being carried will still apply. The primary ramification of this is that you can only use another role's [[quest artifact]] if you are the same alignment as that object.
 ===Unintelligent artifacts===
 Unintelligent artifacts have a {{frac|4}} chance of blasting you for 4d4 damage (2d4 if you have magic resistance) and abusing your wisdom any time you perform one of the above actions if:
-* The artifact has an alignment and you are of a different alignment from itun
+* You are of a different alignment than the artifact
-** This does not apply if that artifact is [[Sting]] or [[Orcrist]]
+* You have negative alignment record
-* You have negative [[alignment record]] (if artifact is aligned)
+* You are in the form of something the artifact specially attacks
-* You are in the form of something the artifact specially attacks, which deals d10 damage (unaffected by magic resistance) and also abuses [[constitution]]
-While unintelligent artifacts never evade your grasp, you still cannot equip one if it attacks your current form.
+While unintelligent artifacts never evade you as intelligent ones do, you cannot equip any artifact if it attacks your current form. Independent of any possible blast, attempting to do so deals d10 damage, unaffected by magic resistance, and abuses [[constitution]].
