Aftershokz

Created by Ware, given to Dr. Theodore "Laz" Lazcowicz.
A bone conduction bluetooth headset with some aftermarket modifications.

When wearing the artifact, it connects through the base of your skull and glows slightly there when activating its defenses.

A small disc plugs into the brain stem of the user, similar in appearance (when plugged in) to a "data-jack" type device. It allows anything with the correct kind of plug (Anything Ware has created, or modified to work with it after the fact) to monitor brain activity, and upon removal seals up the area with anesthetic and surgical glue.


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

You get +2 dice to any Mind resistance rolls you make. You also gain the following effects:

  • Compartmentalizing: You can take a maximum of 1 Mind Damage per Round.

  • If you have an Effect that allows you to Exert your Mind more than once per Round, each Exertion still causes one Mind Damage.
  • These bonuses apply only to Mind rolls made to resist Effects and other supernatural phenomena. They do not apply to Trauma rolls or self-control rolls.

My bestfriend Chester

Created and held by Winsley Herman.
A large black briefcase. Made of real leather and stamped brass. A handle and a over-shoulder strap are available. The initials W.H are stamped into the side. The two locks on the top are made to resemble glass eyes, though it does allow the briefcase to "see" if whoever is opening it is the owner. The insides are quite spacious and padded. If the owner isn't the one to open the container the briefcase temporarily swallows the items inside and pushes up its "tounge" (the bottom of the briefcase) to resemble a normal briefcase. otherwise its just as spacious as a magical container would be.

This Artifact holds 5 times what it normally could inside of it. Objects stored inside are weightless.

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

If this Artifact 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 this container appear normal and unremarkable.

On a Downtime, you may change this Artifact from one type of container to another. Maximum once per Downtime.

If anyone other than you opens the container, it appears empty. Others can still destroy it to get at the contents.

This item is a living thing. When targeted, it counts as a Living Creature in addition to its other target types. If destroyed or abandoned for more than two days, it dies and becomes unusable.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: Delusion that the suitcase is your best friend. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

  • You cannot change the container's type if you are not in possession of it.
  • A container of holding cannot be placed inside another created by the same Gift.
  • There is no cost to use this container.

Winsley's deals are getting more serious, so naturally he requests to never be separated from his 'Friends'. If he is ever separated from one of the items he holds so dearly he can call upon some of his benefactor's debts and open a tear in the fabric to bring them to him.


This Artifact cannot be broken. If this Artifact is lost and in no one else’s possession, it finds its way back to its true owner during the next Downtime.

By default, the creator of this Artifact is its true owner. The true owner may formally bequeath this Artifact onto another person within arm’s reach, after which they are its true owner. If the true owner dies or is destroyed, their ownership ends. If this Artifact has no true owner, anyone may spend one day attuning to it to become its true owner.

If this Artifact is in no one else’s possession, its true owner may Exert their Mind and spend two Actions to bring it to themselves.

This Artifact's true owner must have it with them to have restful sleep. They cannot regain Mind or Source while separated from this Artifact.

  • "Cannot be broken" means that damage cannot render the Artifact's Effects unusable, nor can it cease to be used for its primary mundane purpose, if it has one.

The tips of the wearers fingers gain static charge during day to day actions. Their sense of touch is fine tuned to the point of instant recognition based of the electrical flow leaving their fingers. They also receive stimuli from the passive electrical fields in their surroundings through their hands. The tingling in their fingers tends to keep people up at night unless they can mentally tune it out.


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

Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

  • Electroreception: You may detect electromagnetic fields, electric currents, and even neurological activity in a 50 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting neurological activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.
  • Touch: You can identify any material with a touch and immediately find what you are looking for when rummaging, assuming it is actually present. You may withdraw items from your bags with a Quick Action instead of an Action.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their body and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Battle Scar: Insomnia: Make a self control roll at the start of the contract and whenever you have a full nights rest. if you fail you don’t sleep and take one mind damage.. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Battle Scar heals over the course of the next day.

  • When you are within 50 feet of range, your electroreception sense is sufficient for aiming.
  • “Rummaging" means digging through trash, finding a needle in a haystack, etc.

You link your mind with your object allowing for it to take your burdens away. You no longer feel pain or stress. In return the object feeds on your innermost thoughts. Trust me you won’t even realize.


You gain the following benefits as long as this effect can only be used if it’s attached to a living object. and you are wearing this Artifact.

Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0.

It is a rose gold watch which can tell the time. When the crown is held down with a wounded creature within range the tentacles shoot out from watch. The reach out and begin suturing the wounds back together. The process is long but painless. The effectiveness of the suturing is based on the users ability to convince the entity to help. Afterwards the recipient has an avoidance to seafood, especially calamari.


Exert your Mind and spend 15 minutes. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain. Your patient is required to they cannot eat seafood for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.

  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

The user pulls out a Pawn's chess piece, finely crafted in a recreation of the creator of this effect. which begins to pulse with darkness before a copy of the creator of this effect appears, ready to serve their summoner.

Pawn is well, a Pawn, she is generic, so i figured her summons should look like her to create that effect

Infernal Nurse's Uniform

Created and held by Stephanie Sakurai.
This is regulation medical apparel, provided you live in a 1920s pinup drawing.

You give the patient an 'examination', which mostly consists of making thinly-veiled innuendos and telling them that they're fine, actually. A *biiig, strong* contractor like them wouldn't let a little gunshot wound to the abdomen slow them down, would they?

There's also some magical particle effects. Hearts and sparkles and stuff. You get it.
