it has the soul of a child from long ago...

This Artifact can be used as a handgun. It is roughly the same size as a handgun and just as difficult to conceal.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal 3 Weapon Damage. The target's Armor is fully effective against this damage.

Possession of this Artifact causes the following Trauma to manifest over the course of a day: trigger happy roll self control to stop firing this weapon. If you lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next month.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Infinite Ammo: This weapon never runs out of its standard ammunition.
  • You may spend a Quick Action to change this firearm's base stats into those of any other basic firearm.

Spend 1 minute. Select a Device within arm's reach. Can be used on Alien technology. This Effect cannot be used unless only works on vehicles. Roll Intellect + Drive, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the targeted system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.

You may issue a "self-destruct" command that leaves the hacked system's hardware inoperable, even if that machine had no such functionality previously. Only works on Computers.

After successfully using this Effect, you may choose to add the target to your own personal "network." You may use this Effect on any target on your network at any range. You can have up to 3 targets on your network.

When targeting non-computer devices, you may operate switches, buttons, dials, levers, and latches.

Rune-Inscribed Shackle

Created by Jacob Sterns, looted by Gregor Eriksson.
A stainless steel leg shackle with grey runes carved into it.

An object brandishing these neuron-like engravings infuses the wearer with a magical energy that let's them stay mentally active for 24 hours a day. The user can also decide to put themselves into a sleep-like full body stasis, making them independent from any need for resources, while keeping their mind awake.
If you want to study faster, 30% more waking hours are a very efficient way to do it.

These magical markings let the body synthesize an unknown chemical which keeps the glymphatic system active during waking hours, so body and mind are able to keep functioning without restriction.


You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

You no longer require any sleep in order to survive. You no longer age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail.

You may spend one minute entering a state of hibernation, during which you are inanimate and unaffected by any requirements for life. You may still perceive the outside world and may spend 3 Rounds ‘waking up’ to end it.

Wooden Exterior

Created and held by Dorris Green.

Wooden armour for Dorris


You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

You have 6 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack.

You may transfer your Armor to another target within 30 feet once per Round as a Free Action. You may transfer it back to yourself at any range.

You may spend an Action or Reaction and Exert your Mind to double your Armor rating for one Round.

Your Armor cannot be destroyed, and it always provides a minimum of 2 Armor regardless of any Armor shredding or penetration. It cannot be circumvented with Called Shots. When shredded, it returns to full potency in one hour.

When you take Damage from a source which is within 5 feet, deal back as much Damage as your Armor prevented.

  • This Effect’s Armor rating cannot be increased by any other Effects.

Izaac's Mobile Deployment Container

Created by Mike Carson, given to Izaac Laven.
a 40ft High Cube Side Open Shipping container with solar panels on the top or a Brass Cigarette Case with a runic design.

Eight runes are scratched into the metal surface of these containers on the outside corners, and eight on the inside. When activated, a faint werelight outlines them as the container shrinks and morphs into a metal cigarette case with a runic design in the center. Activating this expands the container back to its full size. From inside, the runes glow faintly for as long as the container is shrunk(this does not provide illumination, but indication)

Mike has leaned in on his new employment and marked a number of the various containers from the ship with runes at the interior eight corners which anchor the inner space of the container in place, while opposing runes on the outer corners allow his imbued magic to spatially compress and transform the outside. The cigarette case form is just a jab at his boss's smoking habit.


This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a Shipping Container but can be collapsed into Cigarette Case and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Your Shipping Container has a normal storage capacity, but can be collapsed down to a pocket-sized version without losing any internal storage. You cannot access the contents while it is collapsed. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Living things can be stored in your Shipping Container. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the Shipping Container in the process.

If your Shipping Container is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.

When scanned or investigated without opening, the contents of your container appear normal and unremarkable.

  • There is no cost to use your container.
