Comments:
Artifacts and resources share
common ERM numbering.
Important Note:
Most of these commands will not work on an artifact or resource pile unless
the artifact has some setup already done in the editor. This can be as simple
as clicking the customize checkbox on the Guardians tab of the artifact or
resource. If the artifact or resource pile has no setup, the command will
generate an ERM error message. However, the V$ command will work correctly
even if the scroll or resource does not have any setup.
