The creation of artifacts is generally held to be completely unique to each item. There is some info about it in the DMG, but I think that in general, it's up to you. It should always be complex, involve some sort of quest/sacrifice/or other major expense, and always have a drawback. |

It also depends on from what angle you're creating it. If the PCs are doing it, we are talking some seriously epic stuff... If you're creating one as a DM, to be used in a campaign, you can pretty much go wild. In fact, I recall a 2E reference that said artifacts were an excuse for DMs to break the rules...
Either way, I'd start with the 2E Book of Artifacts as a source for reference and inspiration. |

| Additionally, see Deities and Demigods, the Epic Level Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide II, and the Arms and Equipment Guide(all for 3e). |

Thank you guys!
Can you anser me another question!
There is any spell (3 ed.) that works like a energy projection which can be used to attack and defend?
It would work in this way: when used to attack the energy creates a wave of force that affects in one direction, and pull the enemies back like a strong wind. For defense this spell creates a pressure against the actions made against the character. For exemple: a mage inside a Forcecage use this spell to create a pressure from inside to outside against the resistence of the cage and may destroy it, using some criteria (like a Will test between the casters). This pressure could be used to crush too. Well, if it does’t exist, in what level it would fit if it had 3 rounds of duration.
I know its a lot but i trust in your judgment!!!
Thanks a lot!

| There is fireshield which damages your enemies when you are attacked, but protects you from cold or fire. I have the vaguest sense of some effect that works how you describe, but I can't remember it off the top of my head. |
