Hello,

I haven't played HIP in some time, am coming back to it after a 2 year absence. I just installed the latest Frosty2 and was checking some of the files, when I noticed that Frosty2 does not have a "01_artifacts_books.txt" file in common/artifacts, although the vanilla game does have this file.

Does this mean that with HIP you can no longer create any Magnum Opus books or gain any book artifacts at all? I really enjoyed all of the book artifacts, so can I just place the 01_artifacts_books.txt from vanilla into the common/artifacts folder inside HIP and play with them again?

I really like all of the mystical/occult aspects of the game, even though I know they're not historical, so is there some way to keep all of these things in the HIP game?

If I do a grep for "magnum_opus" I can still see that HIP has all of the magnum opus creation events there, but with no 01_artifacts_books.txt, they won't work correctly because the magnum_opus definitions aren't in HIP. Is this a bug or was this done on purpose?

And finally, are there any HIP submods which restore all of the mystical/occult stuff into the game or restore the artifacts to their higher powered versions before Frosty? (I had heard that artifacts got significantly nerfed with the Frosty branch)

You most certainly can get them. I have one magnum opus, two self-written book artifacts, and i even got the necronomicon on one of my characters in my current frosty2 run.
