"Bob failed in the creation of Item X"

How can one get this message?

- It's a unique item and someone else has forged it?
- There are inherent chances of failure in forging all items?
- It's a random event?

Re: "Bob failed in the creation of Item X"

Thanks, makes sense.

Re: "Bob failed in the creation of Item X"

Happens only when several mages try to forge the same artifact in the same turn. Of course only one of them will succeed since artifacts are unique.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, I can't give you a definitive answer (although I suspect the first), but I can suggest some more possibilities:

* Bob was somehow feebleminded before the forge phase (assassin? seeking arrow?) and no longer had the magic skills to forge the item.
* Bob was relying on Forge of the Ancients to be able to forge that item, but FotA was dispelled.
* A random event caused you to lose some gems so you didn't have enough.
* A random event destroyed the lab in Bob's province; you can't forge without a lab.
