Leaving aside the Beyonder Characteristics of Saints and Angels, and Mystical Items equivalent to Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts, there were no fewer than five Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts here with official or unofficial serial numbers.

There was "0-02," the Trunsoest Brass Book, which the Archbishop of the God of War Church had stolen and which had ultimately fallen into Angel's hands; "0-05," the Magic Wishing Lamp, borrowed from Bernadette again; "0-62," the Staff of the Stars, from the Abraham Family; the "Mystic Seer" curtain, provisionally numbered "0-99"; and the Pale Crown, which Angel had only just obtained and had barely had time to get accustomed to.
