Crafted Artifact

Shiny New Toy Gun

Created and held by Mark Sinclair.
Shiny New Toy Gun

This kid's sci-fi toy blaster lights up and flashes and makes the same types of noises you'd expect from the original, but it also fires out a red energy beam at the target like from some cheesy sci-fi movie or TV show. Also noticeably the beam is very harmful to living beings.

Also, of note, being a toy, it seems more accurate the more dramatic you are rather than based on eye-hand coordination.

Spend an Action. Select a Living target within 50 feet. Roll Charisma + Performance Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling to Dodge or Defend as a Reaction, Difficulty 6.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 4.

This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 2.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of Effect. There must be no substantial obstructions between you and your target.

Psionic Circlet

Created and held by Vector "Yora'tu" Kertan.
A blue crystal of Aqua aura embedded in a headpiece on where third eye would be.

Once attuned an nearly invisible mark is created on third eye of recipient. While communicating the third eye starts to glow faintly, thus becoming visible.

Every data channel is two sided. Remember which side are you on.

Spend an Action. Select a target within 300 feet of you. You must have a specific target in mind, but you require only an intuitive understanding of them, such as their name, face, or Location. This Effect cannot be used unless you are attuned to your target. You can attune by spending an action looking in the eye(s) of your target. You can have up to Itellect number of attuned targets.

You may send a single message to your target. It can be no more complicated than a multi-page letter or a long email.

The message will only be perceived by the intended recipient. You must share a common language for your target to understand the message.

This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.

  • Receiving a message does not force a target to pay attention to you, and they can feel free to ignore your message if they choose. Depending on the flavor of your Gift, they may or may not be able to return to it and read it later on.
  • Generally you cannot communicate with Contractors who are not in a Contract with you.
  • 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.

A blue crystal of Aqua aura embedded in a headpiece on where third eye would be. When focused on it helps user to move and otherwise interact with their surroundings with mind itself.

It slightly glows reacting on wearers thoughts and goes bright when used properly to affect reality.

A crystal popped from an old trinket for a game said to be real thing actually happened to be not that far from false advertisement. Unique way of artificially coating dumortierite quartz with gold gave the crystal potential to become functional.

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

You can interact with things that are within 10 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them.
