 # Therefore, it is important that an Editor is flexible and          #

     The &lt;item power&gt; value measures how "powerful" an artifact is.

   <attribute arch="attacktype" editor="attacktype" type="bitmask_attacktype">
     This number is a bitmask, specifying the weapon's attacktypes.
     Attacktypes are: physical, magical, fire, cold.. etc. Most artifact weapons
     have no more than one or two attacktypes. Keep in mind that all weapons
     can be blessed by the player's diety, thus adding an additional attacktype.
     When a player hits a monster with a weapon that has more than one attacktype,
     then he will do as much damage as the "best" of his attacktypes does. So,
     the more attacktypes you've got, the better your chance to take advantage
     of a monster's vulnerabilities. (Btw: Same rule applies for monster vs.
     player.). Attacktypes "magic" and "chaos" are somehow exceptions.
   <attribute arch="weapontype" editor="weapontype" type="list_weapon_type">
     The &lt;weapontype&gt; characterizes the weapon's type of physical
     attack. It could best be considered a "subclassification"

     Slaying means the weapon does tripple (3x) damage to monsters of the
     specified race. If &lt;slaying race&gt; matches an arch name (e.g. "big_dragon"),
     only monsters of that archtype are hit with tripple damage.
     No god blessings are possible for weapons with a race set in this entry
     (That's because god blessings add tripple damage against their own
     enemy races). Tripple damage is very effective.
   </attribute>
   <attribute arch="last_sp" editor="weapon speed" type="int">
     The &lt;item power&gt; value measures how "powerful" an artifact is.
     Players will only be able to wear equipment with a certain total

     only way to prevent low level players to wear "undeserved" equipment
     (like gifts from other players or cheated items).
     It is very important to adjust the &lt;item power&gt; value carefully
     for every artifact you create! If zero/unset, the CF server will

     &lt;food bonus&gt; only affects the amount of food consumed
     for "being alive". Hence, even with high &lt;food bonus&gt;,
