Crafted Artifact

Phoenix Axe

Created by Luci Alessi, given to Prototype.
A dark green dual headed throwing axe, shaped like the wings of an angular bird. +5 dmg (weapon) to melee and thrown attack rolls. The Fire axe blade can be utilized to channel pyromancy in combat, giving it the trait of leaving cauterized injury.

The process takes quite a bit of time, as Luci must properly bind this object to its ideal image by bathing it in The Well. A process that, if witnessed by a normal person, would likely result in some minor traumatic occurrences. Luci watches over the item the entire time to make sure it is not swallowed up into the inky mess. A lengthy sweat-inducing endeavor, but by its end, when Luci pulls the item from the reservoir, it is all worth it.

The items in question will sport a dark tint on the paint job and if Luci desires it, she can make its primary or secondary colors as dark as she wants. The symbol of The Well, a front facing Kraken with its tentacles curled out symmetrically, will appear somewhere visibly on the item, marking it as improved.

Idealism was always thought to exist solely in concept, to associate reality with mental ideals as opposed to material objects. That somewhere in the cosmic lands above, a perfect image of this "thing" exists, and only its material imitations are founded in "reality". But what if a material object could be elevated closer to the status of its ideal perfect image? A question Luci had asked herself for a period, and while it took some time, she managed to find a way.


This Artifact has been upgraded.

This Artifact receives 3 extra dice to all actions taken for its intended use. Attacking with an upgraded weapon grants +3 Weapon Damage instead of additional dice. While it is upgraded, the item cannot be destroyed.

Upgraded weapons count as any material your opponent might be particularly vulnerable to. Upgraded Armor cannot be circumvented by called shots. Upgraded Devices do not run out of fuel or energy.

  • "Destroyed" in this context means "prevented from functioning for its primary purpose", so for instance, an upgraded land mine would still explode as normal if triggered, even though it cannot be "destroyed" and a car's windows may still be broken.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used. The same is true for extra dice.
  • Extra dice from this Effect do not apply to Gift activation rolls.

The shattered spear of Dagon

Created by Aerin Macklemore, given to Mifiora Ib'Lapis.
A trident with a broken handle, now the size of a large knife, with a long middle tip once used for fishing, then for hunting humans, then for me. It wriggles sometimes.

A tinge of brine and the scent of saltwater hits the air as the tip of the trident forms, compresses and fires out a compressed shot of high-intensity saltwater at the target

Ocarina of Time

Created and held by Link.
A sky-blue, ceramic ocarina with nine holes: seven on the front and two on the back. It has a golden triforce near the mouthpiece.

The song feels as if it wraps around your heart and mind. Its tune seems mournful- but, then again, aren't you? Filled with the experience of your grief and pain being seen and understood, you feel at peace. You will never forget, no, but you can accept what happened and let go.

The act of letting go creates a mask, the design of which represents the trauma inflicted upon your heart.

The Song of Healing has the capability to heal a soul and give peace to those who cannot forget. Those who are tormented by what they have seen and felt are released from their pain, and given the ability to move on.


Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) to activate. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. Over the course of one Downtime, your patient must communicate with you and reveal at least one of their Traumas to you, including the details of those Traumas and the circumstances of how they were acquired. After the full treatment time has elapsed, roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6.

Your target may Resist. If your treatment is successful, you may remove one of the patient's revealed Traumas without incurring any Experience cost.

  • The treatment time may be broken up into multiple sessions if necessary.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

If a new opening appears while the Effect is still active, it will finish spreading in that direction.

You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.

  • If you select a location at the edge of your range, you will be just outside the zone once the Effect is activated
