This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a motor vehicle but can be collapsed into a haunted object and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.
Whenever you show this Artifact to someone, you may give a general description of an Object within the category of Motor Vehicles, and anyone who hears the description and sees the Artifact will have their mind fill in the details to complete the illusion. This Effect cannot be used unless the item is haunted.
The way the Artifact is seen can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.
The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results.

The paintbrush is fairly usual, save for its size (2 feet in length) as well as the magnificent engravings along the wood of the handle, that of which depict dream-walkers of the past in a number of ways. Should the item be used, it can be held out, will coursed through its grain and bristle, as it glows ever so greatly, it will extrude the items out of its pure-white bristly tip, as if from no-where. the items will float in place, organized in an orderly fashion, awaiting their acquisition. (Should they not be claimed in a minutes time, the item will fall gently to the floor.)

Upon activation of the artifacts ability, the gashes on Ashandras palms split open as her blood flows through the engravings within the handle. This sacrifice of flesh and blood, and a coursing of the users will, allows for the transformation into a weapon of the users choice. The brush, once it begins to change, will glow pure white, akin to it's abilities of item creation. The end result is about double the size of the original brush, the handle changed to fit the general size of the handle of the chosen weapon, and the bristles changed to appear as the chosen weapons blade. The blade itself, fueled by both will and flesh, still appears purely white, but with an oil-like rainbow sheen about it. It is, additionally, notably powerful, but it allows not for the use of any other weapons. Such is the sacrifice of art.

The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy. The wearer's face is exposed normally, but when activated, a blue holographic visor flickers to life in front of the eyes. This HUD contains information about the soldier's ammunition and shield status, but more significantly can detect enemy combatants. Anyone nearby who is holding a weapon is painted with a red dot that follows them in real time. This allows the Future Soldier to fire at painted targets in the dark, detect ambushes lurking around corners, and grants an overall tactical advantage.
Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action.
You automatically detect all people wielding weapons within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.

The Scepter of Ang-Kapal is a gruesome device fashioned to look like a skeletal arm clutching a glass eye. When used, blood from the person holding is drawn into the eye where it swirls with dark energy. The eye turns to a nearby corpse and shudders, reviving the creature. The creature does not retain any of its memories or personality, but it is absolutely loyal to whoever is holding the scepter.
The Scepter of Ang Kepal has the unfortunate side effect of driving its owner mad.
