Depletion:

Cartridge: One Use. Base Weapon: 1d100.

Effect:

The user must take an action to load a charged cartridge into the weapon. Then by taking another action to pull the trigger as an attack is made, the weapon will deal 6+Artifact Level damage. This attack is made at a -1 roll modifier.

Furthermore the user must choose to make either a might check or a speed check against the Artifact’s Level or be unbalanced next turn (+1 difficulty level penalty to defense actions). With a critical failure the user is knocked prone instead. This unbalance check is part of the same action as the attack and thus subject to the effort limit for single actions.

When the cartridge is depleted the weapon usually acts like a normal heavy weapon. However at GM’s discretion the weapon may not work at all, or may have some other basic function; for example, a shield that fires a piston returns to being a heavy shield, rather than a heavy weapon.
