Crafted Artifact

ArCANis Spray Can

Created and held by Delphyrion Arcanis.
Just a spray can with a colourful label. What's important is Delphyrion's addition to the contents: a rubbery substance that sprays out in a rainbow mist.

Delphyrion's spray can releases a rainbow mist that coats this artifact in a translucent, glittery purple substance that's incredibly hard to destroy. It resembles rubber (pliable and flexible) so it allows a full range of motion. As long as this artifact is in your possession, the armour spreads to you as well.

On source material:
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs has always been a classic. The shoes Flint Lockwood had seemed to be made of some elastic biopolymer adhesive that stuck to his feet until it wore off a few days later. At first he was pretty disappointed by it, but Delphyrion was interested in how Flint couldn't destroy it at all.

On applications:
It is actually quite useful as sealant for plumbing and other repairs. Actually, Delphyrion derived the substance from Flex Seal, which was used for roofs. Since it would be stationary with this usage, unlike how a person would constantly move around, it takes a while for the spray to wear off. Delphyrion has tested it out on a number of equipment and it has almost always been successful. That is, until he tried using it to fix his glassware. Those kept exploding no matter what they were used for.

On rainbow spray:
It was actually an accident that the spray ended up being rainbow-coloured; they didn't expect it to be anything like the movie, but Delphyrion's very satisfied with it. It just gives the armour a nice sheen, like the psychedelic colours on the surface of an oil spill. Also, it's gay.

On clothing:
Wear your clothes. Literally, this is not an alternative for clothing. This stuff is translucent so chances are that people can actually see what's underneath. If you're really brave (and not afraid of indecency charges) it'd generally look like you're wearing a skintight jumpsuit. Or, like, spray it on top of your clothes.

On the spray can:
It's just a regular spray can with a label on it. Also, Delphyrion's last name is Arcanis. Hence, ArCANis, get it?

Justice

Created and held by Nemania Marquette.
A 1851 Colt Navy Revolver that has been in the family since, well, 1851 and passed down to the family matriarch to protect the family honor.

Shoots typical lead balls from the 1850s... it just never runs out. And it would be interesting to try and get forensics on them since they're lead balls... and the gun isn't exactly registered....

Looks like an ordinary revolver. Or at least as ordinary as any 150 year old gun could. And yet... there's a reason it's a family heirloom.

And now, it's even library appropriate with a silencer!

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

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +4 Weapon Damage.

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 shattered spear of Dagon

Created by Aerin Macklemore, given to Mifiora Ib'Lapis.
A trident with a broken handle, now the size of a large knife, with a long middle tip once used for fishing, then for hunting humans, then for me. It wriggles sometimes.

A tinge of brine and the scent of saltwater hits the air as the tip of the trident forms, compresses and fires out a compressed shot of high-intensity saltwater at the target

Created by Zain Robinson, given to Jimmy Rockman.

Powered by advanced tensile wiring, the Viper Cord can extend to bend, tighten, and adjust its grip like a mechanical lasso-- commanded via smart technology synchronized with the nerves/electrical signals of the user's muscles.
