This template is intended to be for artifact weapons, although many artifacts in these variants have applicable weapon attributes despite not having a weapon as their base item type—this mostly applies to helms, rings, gloves, and boots, and such artifacts should ideally use {{dNetHack artifact}} unless circumstances dictate otherwise. Additionally, some artifacts are capable of having their base items changed, either through their own innate abilities or by a hero performing a specific action, e.g. naming an artifact or reshaping it at a forge.
