Crafted Artifact

Iryna's Turn-Out Coat

Created by Archetype, given to Iryna Vorobyova.
A long coat suitable for a Firewoman with the image of a nine tailed fox woven into the interior & a hood for the rain.

An appropriately named jacket, coming in a variety of colors and woven with kevlar fabrics this blend of modern technology and fantastical ability can take you from anywhere to anywhere else you can see. Even through mystical means. Though you do ignite into a multicolored fireball and proceed to have all the skin slough off your bones before turning to ash and then repeating the process in reverse on arrival.

Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. Select a Location within your line of sight.

You are transported directly to the chosen Location. Anyone who is touching you as you Travel will be brought along with you. You must wait an hour before activating this effect again.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see The user ignites and burns to dust over the cast time.

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

The eyes on the tails on the back of the jacket open and weep blood that ignites once on the floor and takes the shape of the fox that then coalesces into the shape of a fox around the object emblazoning it with the creature. The creature is slightly warm to the touch, and it looks at people who get close with a perplexed gaze for a few seconds, before screaming with all the intensity of a woman being murdered.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 10 feet.

You place a ward, which is fixed to its initial location. You can perceive with all your senses through the ward as though you were standing at its location. This Artifact may have at most 1 wards active at once.

The ward requires Concentration to monitor, though it will remain active until you deactivate it. The presence of the Ward is obvious to anyone being watched by it, and it can be destroyed by mundane means.

You may destroy the Ward to activate one Investigate Individual, Object, or Area Effect as though you were standing at its location.

Whenever something crosses into the observational range of the Ward, you and those you've allowed to tune in are alerted by fox scream.

You may only use this Effect once per day.

  • Full Spectrum: This investigation Effect is as obvious as it would normally be. The Effect is targeted as though you were standing at the location of the Ward. You must pay all activation costs and satisfy all activation requirements of the Effect.
  • Your ward cannot be used to satisfy the line of sight requirement for targeted Effects.
  • 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.

Rune Specs

Created and held by Mike Carson.
A sturdy pair of flexible titanium framed glasses with runes etched around the rim of the lenses.

The Book Of Those Lost

Created and held by Edward Henry.
A rugged book with a polaroid of a black background with white words that read 'Wheres My Wife?' stapled to the cover, on the white tab of the polaroid reads 'A. Henry 14.03.2013'

This rugged book comprised of damaged leather and pristine white blank pages, with a polaroid stapled to the front, feels rough to the touch yet warm, and the pages feel clean no matter the environment

The book seems to be of magical origin, perhaps even cursed

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.

Whenever this Artifact is unattended and within 300 feet of its true owner, it will fly back to them. When not held or stowed, it floats beside its true owner, moving with them. While within 10 feet, the true owner does not need to touch it to use it.

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: Whispers of the Lost. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

  • The Artifact can fly at a maximum speed of 100 feet per Round and only towards its true owner. This does not grant the Artifact its own Action or Reaction, and it moves at the same time as its true owner’s Movement.
  • "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.

A page in the empty book somewhat fills with a set of large words that read "Een Hakin", and some other words that aren't eligible nor in English, and a drawing that depicts a bandolier of fire diagonally across the chest of a poorly drawn man, brandishing eight knives made of pure fire.

This Artifact produces ephemeral projectiles that can be used as a throwing knife.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Athletics, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +2 Weapon Damage.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Any Injury inflicted is considered Unstabilized no matter its Severity. The roll required to Stabilize it is treated as though it is a minimum of Severity 6. These wounds do not heal naturally, though Effects may still be used to heal them.
  • Magic Quiver: Instead of throwing this Artifact, it is an object that produces an endless supply of temporary throwable objects. For example, bracers that allow you to throw ethereal javelins, or a sack of throwing rocks that doesn’t shrink when you withdraw one.
  • Straight To The Face: You may make a throwing attack at melee range with no penalty.

  • Created projectiles last only until they strike their target and cannot be shared or stockpiled.
  • 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 Bedside Manner

Created and held by Abigail Castodon.
