Chain of Lilith

Created and held by Liv.
A dark metal chain with purple gems woven in throughout. It works as a bracelet when wrapped twice around the wrist.

The artifact holds at least one demon bound to obey the commands and will of the wielder and advance their interests. When used a demon wearing a human form crawl's its way out of the object, and leaps out, looking for enemies.

The demon in this iteration looks like a beautiful human with dark eyes, black hair, and dark nail polish. When not attempting to hide it, they trail little bits of shadowy smoke, and bend shadows and light around them oddly. They have thin leathery wings that peel out from their back when they take flight. When firing at range, claws from their hand break off becoming needle like knives in the air.

The demon can speak, reporting on anything it sees, and apply a level of intelligence to understanding the world around it. It will die defending anyone it is ordered to defend.

This artifact is made by summoning a demon, making a deal with it, and binding it to the object in a long ritual.

Crescendo

Created and held by Constella di Aria.
A one-of-a-kind modular weapons system. A performer's best asset. A Personal Orchestra.

A highly customizable firearm, able to be reconfigured at the user's will. Matter is created out of thin air as the firearm modifies its own form and function to best suit the wants and needs of its performer. The magazine seems to hold four shots, but no matter what it always stays full.

The Adagio Multipurpose Instrument was a modular weapons system designed by Lotus for use by its star assassins. Its standard models required affixing the attachments to the gun manually to alter its performance, but a certain piece, coveted even more than Myrrh Sov's Slugger, was so much more than those it succeeded. Adagio models were kept in instrument cases alongside its varied kit, and labeled as such to lessen suspicion and give a sense of artist's superiority to its users.
