+## Artifact wear
+
+Every point of resonance an artifact grants in meditation wears it, whoever
+receives it. An artifact can grant `artifacts.wear.budget_multiplier` (default
+`1.0`) times its highest aura cap in total. With `1.0` a 20-cap common can raise
+one character from 0 to 20 once, or two sharers to 10 each. `0` turns wear off. Wear is stored on the item (`magic:artifact_wear`); its lore shows
+`Integrity: N%` once it has been worn.
+
+At the budget the artifact crumbles in place into a spent husk:
+
+- Aura, care state, users, wear and the artifact id are removed. Rarity, primary
+  element and sacrifice history stay. `magic:artifact_spent` holds the old id.
+- The name becomes `Spent <name>`, the glint goes and the aura block is replaced
+  by the husk line (`artifact.husk.*` in `messages.yml`).
+- No Magic system treats it as an artifact again. The Recycler takes it for a
+  share of its rarity's dust (`artifact_returns.husk_fraction`).
+- The meditator sees `meditation.crumbled`, the pedestal is saved at once and
+  that artifact gives nothing more this sit. Resonance already gained stays.
+  Anyone else sitting at the ring treats it as spent, so their sit can still
+  complete.
+
+Worn pedestals are saved at most every 5 seconds during a sit and again when it
+ends. Shrines, sacrifice, care and
+charges do not wear an artifact; only resonance it grants does.
+
+## Artifact rarities
+
+Common, Uncommon, Rare and Legendary. Magic 0.9.0 removed Epic: Rare covers the
+low part of Epic's old cap range and Legendary the high part (planar schools
+46-75 and 76-150), Epic's random-roll weight went 2/2 to them, its adjectives
+moved to Legendary and its models became Legendary-only. Existing Epic
+artifacts keep working; their lore shows the raw id `epic`.

 Artifacts below the muffle requirement or with no configured output are refused
 before recipe fallback, so a matching config recipe cannot bypass these rules.
 
+Magic 0.9.0 no longer rolls Epic artifacts. The `epic` row stays so older Epic

+Spent husks (artifacts that crumbled from meditation wear, Magic 0.9.0+) hold no

 `return_rates.artifacts` multiplies these amounts using the normal return math.
 The shipped rarity table is tuned so recycling the artifacts from a Dowsing
 Artifact Mine node yields roughly half the enchanted dust of a Dust Mine node.
