The System

CH- 31: Now a rhino ate my hard work.

    Spearing further suspense, Tetsu fills in the information with a mental command and identifies his latest creation.

[Ding! You have found a 'Split Artifact' Rejuivestaff talcostum: Any attack from a level one beast can break the artifact into pieces. Boo ho! This is my first creation. Deal with it. Also, because I can't make this mine by binding it to my soul, guess what? So can't you? Whoever picks it can use it. You better have a firm grip, bitches. #Self-repair #Restore Mana/health. #Initiate #Inferior #Requires a darn good grip. Level: Initiate. Rarity: Inferior.]

"What's split...?"

[Segments: 04/04.]

"Oh, that solves that!"

Tetsu double-checks the overlap in information.

"I didn't know my screen would show the level and rarity independently." Tetsu removes two hashtags. "Better?" He shrugs in doubt. "Why doesn't it show my exceptional self-repair thingy?"

Tetsu tries to probe the description further and finds hidden features within the description.

"What is this?"

He thinks of clearing the blur, masking the description, and it unveils itself.

"Wow..."

[Ding! A new creation has been made. Class: The Artificer received bonus points for a new creation. Level: Initiate --> 14% <--]

"Not this one." Tetsu scrolls lower. "I love it, but still."

[Ding! Skill: Artifact Prober is available: Artifacts are known to be at the peak of creation. Yet every artifact has an obvious weakness, for every power has a limit. With a keen eye and a skeptical approach toward every aspect of luck and life, you have found the hidden clause that always comes at the end to bite you in the ass. Discover every hidden aspect of the artifact with Artifact Prober. Keep an eye on improvement and an eye on its limit. Level: Initiate. Rarity: Uncommon.]

Not dwelling on how? Tetsu accepts the skill and uses it to uncover the hidden description.

"Wait! I've seen this before."

~ (Hidden stats:

Any attack of Fort (>5) can break the artifact beyond recognition. Fire-based skills: @Initiate. Level: 01. Can disintegrate the artifact. Mana and health regeneration are calculated by the level of the user (LU) multiplied by Power output (PO) divided by Regen (R) and the entire sum multiplied and divided by Atmospheric mana (AM) and State of the user (SoU).

MH Regeneration = R (LU×PO) ​× AM × SoU1

Restoration of the artifact is calculated by: the number of segments available (NSA) multiplied by damage percentage (DP), divided by mana output (MO) multiplied by Atmospheric nature mana (ANM).

Restoration = (MO×ANM) (NSA×DP). ~

"You had to bring back math, didn't you?"

This was also all the information Tetsu ignored during the artifact diagnosis.

"Got the skill because of my hate for the skill." Tetsu pats himself on the back. "Sometimes bad luck is good luck in disguise."

Tetsu uses his skill over the first artifact he ever found. Okay, okay, stole.
