The Uniqueness attribute is an attribute defined at artifact creation as either "Unique" or "Ordinary", a Unique artifact may have only a single owner for its existence and may not be transfered to another Player.

The Artisan's announcement includes the name of the Artifact, any associated powers and their operation, whether the artifact is ordinary or unique, and if the Artifact is Ordinary its cost. At the start of Ballotday, if the dependent action succeeded and the Artifact is Ordinary, the Artifact is created; Players may exchange a number of points from eir score equal to the cost of the Artifact, whereupon that number of points is deducted from eir own score and a copy of the artifact is created in eir possession. If, however, the Artifact is Unique, then the artifact is auctioned. Players may bid points from eir score, bidding ends at the end of Thirnight, the Player who bid the most points from eir own score has that amount deducted from eir score attribute and the Artifact is created in eir possession.
