Crafted Artifact

Pyschopomp's Torch

Created by Cinder Alynth, given to Trinity.
A piece of driftwood covered in intricate art of flames and souls circulating through various, interconnected cardiovasculary systems. It comes with a rope shoulder strap that smells like the ocean. The top is twistable, and makes for a fun fidget!

When the user is injured or mentally drained, the pictographic representations of flames running through beating hearts glow like a gentle flame.

The Stubborn Flame calls upon the spark of life that everything shares. Stoking it to a roaring flame that stands in defiance of the the mortal shell's injuries, helping the user compensate for even the most gruesome of wounds and light the way through the thickest of mental fogs.

Purple backpack of Holding

Created and held by Gaius Carter.

A purple Backpack that can hold more than it should be able to.

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

Your Purple Backpack holds 5 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

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

If your Purple Backpack 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.

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

  • There is no cost to use your container.

Combat Gloves MKIII

Created by Marcus Queipo-Astray, given to Emperor's Blade, "The Veteran".
Special combat gloves designed and crafted by the legate of the forsaken legion

Staff of Moses

Created by Crane Albright, given to Stinky Pete.
Exert your mind and spend an action near a source of water. The staff drinks in that water and awakens as a venomous serpent (use the stats of a black mamba) loyal to its awakener. If held to the water, it will quickly drain 5 feet lengthwise of water per round in a straight line across, creating a chasm to the bottom of the body of water of 5ft sections per round which will last for about 5 minutes from the moment of section creation. It looks much like the tales of Moses Parting the Red Sea. The snake will remain awake for 1 minute for each 1 gallon of water consumed this way. The snake can speak, and has the personality of an animal who has been abused by previous owners.

A pendant that upon wearing, will inject nanites into the body through the pores if the pendant doesn't identify nanites in the body. It will generate more nanite and inject them into the until it is sufficient amount

These nanites are special nanites that through advanced research and technology, takes the spot of certain cells. it perfectly recycles the cells within the body, creating what is considered impossible, a infinite energy loop cycle. The pendant acting as a central motherboard. When the pendant is removed, the nanites in the body deactivates.

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

You no longer require any food, water, or sleep in order to survive.

The Golden Ring of Gyges

Created by Vel, given to Emily Miller.
A ring of gold. It has elvish inscribed on it. There is elvish inside it as well. The phonetic pronunciation of Emily.

The artifact, a ring of metal, shimmers slightly, spreading a mist that hides the user slowly disappear into nothing as its user rubs the inscription along the artifact. A bit of Elvish from J.R.R. Token, but saying something different.

"Keep me secret, keep me safe"

Vel made this artifact with a ritual pulling on the long history of legends of artifacts of invisibility.

The ring of Gyges is the first, and the one Vel picked the name for
The second is the helm of hades, the source of the mist that powers the effect.
The last, and the most well known, the one ring, and tempered by the other two stories

Vel starts by casting the metal for the base of the artifact, typically a ring. As Vel does so they tell extracts of the story of the ring of Gyges

Vel then lets the ring cool, surrounding it in steam as they talk about the stories of the helm of hades.

Vel finally carves in elvish the words into the ring. The patterns are common enough that the ring looks recognizable as something akin to the one ring, drawing power from people's conception of that. The specifics of the wording serve as another specific bit of meaning, anchoring the power of the ring in the point of time when the ring was harmless, and connecting it to the other 2 stories of less malevolent effects.

Notes:

[So my thought process for this is that the most well known ring of invisibility and symbol of invisibility is the ring from Lord of the Rings.

When trying to impart an effect, Vel doesn’t want to make a ring that destroys lives and minds. So, the other stories, and the words in elvish are a way of anchoring the power Vel gets from the big story, pulling the other stories of similar tools, and using them to divert the effects the one ring is supposed to have.

I could probably switch to just the Greek stories to make it a little cleaner, but I think if you are making a ring of invisibility using the cultural understanding of rings of invisibility, you need to address the one ring, or it will slip in.]
