Mirror Artifacts

Mirror Artifacts are magical mirrors that serve as complex automated spellcasting tools. Their construction allows even non-wizards to use some forms of spells. Mirrorsages are masters of using mirrors and the magic behind them.

The advent of mirror technology allowed the people of Ayepeessee to cast magic and send messages as conveniently as natural spellcasters would. It is the normal medium utilized when accessing the metaphysic realm of The Internets. Even among the Knights of the Round it is considered a key technology for their Questings, and their use of Familiars.

The wondrous nature of mirrors includes the ability to distill mana from various mundane energy sources, allowing for continuous magical application for as long as they are connected to such sources. In the case of smaller mirrors, they usually possess batteries that contain distilled mana.

Artifact Types
There are many different types of Mirrors, with magical processing power usually correlated to size. However, as the technology continues to rapidly grow, the benchmark 'mp-to-size' ratio is subject to change.
 * Personal Mirror - 'DeskTome' - Essentially a large magical mirror that can be placed on a desk, with magical conduits that allow the attachment of other magical artifacts. In-built spells and magical potency are incredibly varied due to ease of customization.
 * Portable Mirror - 'LapTome' - Smaller than the Personal Mirrors, making travel possible. However, they are not as varied in terms of spells/magical potencies. Such specs can usually be determined by the Cabal or the Wizards that enchanted them. Some Portable Mirrors are specialized - for instance 'Net Grimoires' have lower magical potency, but are capable of recieving visions from The Internets.
 * Handheld Consoles - Powerful, pocket-sized mirrors used by combat-oriented users. This is a Mirror Artifact that lays almost solely in the domain of knights and wizards.
 * Scrying Psychopomps / 'Scry-pomps' - small, pocketsized mirrors that essentially serve as communicators. Replaced the older psychopomp wands. The newest, most popular line is called the 'aePomp' (Aether Psychopomp) created by the renowned wizard cabal 'Abel'.
 * Dusslers - A highly specialized mirror artifact that uses a magical lens. It has the sole feature of capturing images, visions and reflections. One of the tools that can be used for the art of Pingomancy.
