It's probably simpler than I realize, but I don't get the "for Artifacts you choose" part of Offering. Does that mean you only get those crystals if you discard Artifacts? That doesn't make sense, as Artifacts don't have colors. And it wouldn't seem like a great deal to me (in most cases) to give up use of an Artifact to gain a crystal. What am I missing there?
As you've noted Artefacts don't have a colour and thus the "for Artifacts you choose" text merely tells you that if you decide to discard an artefact for Offering you get a crystal of the colour of your choosing rather than no crystal at all. So if I discarded a red action, a blue action and an artefact I'd receive one red crystal, one blue crystal and one crystal of my choosing. And yes in a lot of situations you wouldn't want to spend an artefact just for a crystal but the rules there to cover the cases where you do.
