Can a epic spell stored in a artifact that was made before mystras ban on such high level spells be used today, if that item can renew its spells stored over time eg iloums logevity or any epic spells cast by surviving arcanist's, that fall into banned spells by mystra.

Err Epic spells are not 10th level spells, the revision to 3.X removes all 10th level spells. Now a prior edition magic item might have contained, 10th level or higher spell, but if such made it though edition change at all it would contain an Epic spell instead.

As a RP answer, my best answer is no a 10th level (or higher spell) will work after the ban was put in place, because Mystra said no one can use 10th (or higher) spells any more. This does not effect Epic spells of course.

"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

Also, only major artifacts can store epic spells, according to ELH page 73. In short, the rules only complicate things, this is better left to the DM's judgement as the story demands it.

If an artifact contained a 10th level spell, Mystra would probably not let it take effect, and would have a serious chat with who ever was crazy enough to try to cast it.
