New Artifact: Armor of Lamain dHall (Numenera)

Level: d4+6
Form: This massive synth "suit" blurs the line between the wearing of armor and piloting of a light ship. It can be "worn" by any creature of roughly human size and shape, but slightly more than doubles their size in all dimensions, towering more than 10 feet (3 meters) tall. In addition to its bulk, the materials from which it is made are far hardier than Ninth World smithing techniques could ever manage with steel. For all of that, it would be virtually impossible to wear and carry alone. Instead it requires complex systems to move and counterbalance its weight and mass. However, with only a slight charge to energize these systems the slightest movements of the wearer are translated into titanic movements.

Silicon Shadows- Entering the Datasphere; purpose built devices (Numenera)

Silicon Shadows

All cyphers and artifacts can be used as a tools to reduce the difficulty to break into the datasphere. However, there are a few cyphers which are designed explicitly to grant unfettered access to the datasphere.

House Rule: Stable Cyphers and Unstable Artifacts (Numenera)

Device Slots
Since not all cyphers are limited and artifacts are, cypher slots are device slots. They are still limited in the same way as outlined for cypher slots in the base rules.

Anoetic Cyphers
These items are simple to use, pre-package and self contained. Pills and chemicals or simple devices with small batteries or capacitors. As a result, they do not risk destabilizing and do not require device slots.

Occultic Cyphers
These items are more complex or jury-rigged. As a result they are more prone to problems, including leaking various sorts of radiation or creating strange interactions with other devices. As a result they fill device slots at a 1:1 (rather than the default 2:1).

Artifacts
While often Artifacts are self contained or otherwise pre-packaged, they are also complex and highly charged devices. As a result they are, in many ways, simply Occultic Cyphers with bigger batteries. These items fill device slots at a 1:1 basis.
