Sorry for the long post, I just got to thinking about this. In the IN basic book, p. 41 seems to indicate that any angel can make a mundane item a corporeal artifact through an appropriate number of months of bonding and connection and the expenditure of cp. In the LR (Which I've had a chance to look at, but don't own), it says that creating Artifacts is only possible through the Enchantment skill, which allows the creation of Artifacts, Talismans, and/or Relics/reliquaries after months of work and an appropriate expenditure of Essence and cp, or you can create talismans or relics with the appropriate Choir attunement from Eli. Do the LR rules supersede the basic book, or is it a case where the simple "know where the item is feature" can be imbued in an object by any celestial by long and meaningful association (CP and game time), but adding fancy features use restrictions or all that nifty stuff in the LR is advanced, and requires the appropriate skill and/or attunement?
