  Artifact (fantasy) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In role-playing games and fantasy literature, an artifact is a magical object with some marvelous and alarming power, so great that it cannot be duplicated by any known art allowed by the premises of the fantasy world, and cannot be destroyed by ordinary means.
In Dungeons and Dragons, artifacts are magic items so powerful that they either cannot be created by mortals or the secrets to their creation were lost ages ago.
Artifacts typically have no inherent limit to how many times their power can be invoked, and if any limitations are placed on their powers, it is a number of uses per day.
