Armor of Light

What I'm proposing is a new level of Talismans. I'm talking about Artifacts. Basically an Artifact is a Talisman of great power. Here's some examples:

History: Created by a cabal of militant Celestial Chorusers called the Paladins of the Dawn about the 1300's. This Artifact is of such power that its pieces can be worn and still act as Talismans.

Notes: No extra abilities are gained by wearer when the whole suit is worn. The underneath chainmail isn't magickal until worn under the suit. The whole suit is bright silver, and is made out of a material created with Matter-5. The armor rating is 9, as a unit, with no Dex modifier.
