Quick question here from a newbie (how long can I claim this status?).
When you recover an artifact, do you have to research it to be able to use its primary function? or can it be used straight away and only secondary functions need researching? Further, once you've discovered an artifacts uses, if you give it away, does the knowledge go with it?
Cheers
Simon

Hi Simon,
You can use any of the functions of an artifact without using Research
Artifact (providing you know what the functions are, in the case of
artifacts with secondary powers).
Some artifacts allow you to research certain spells or spell lists. Once you
have researched the spell, you continue to know it unless you issue the
Forget Spell order. Transferring the artifact does not make you forget the
spell.
All other attributes and abilities of the artifacts (combat bonus, skill
bonus, scrying in the case of palantiri, etc.) can only be used when the
character is actually in possession of the artifact.
John
