Crafted Artifact

Gift for the Donna

Created and held by Harriet Kel.
Currently Lost.
An icon depicting a Moth shaped key in the center of a magic circle. It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, and is wrapped in a crocheted holder.

The user traces the carving of a moth shaped key repeatedly, thinking of the shape they wish to hide in. At the end if the ritual, a new skin drapes over the user like a cloth.

This artifact allows the user to summon a new skin from the Mansus made of the jumbled memories of the dead, and remove the distinction between the user and the new skin. For a time, at least.


Exert your Mind and spend a half hour.

You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts for two hours, or you may end it early at will.

The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise cannot directly mimic an existing person. You cannot alter your clothes. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.

You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.

  • ‘Appearance’ includes voice, bone structure, skin quality, hair length and color, eye color, muscle tone, flesh texture, and generally anything perceivable about your body.

a blue and brown leather sling with hebrew runes carved in


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

This item is a living thing. When targeted, it counts as a Living Creature in addition to its other target types. If destroyed or abandoned for more than two days, it dies and becomes unusable.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Bane: Injuries dealt to enemies of the kingdom of isreal are increased by 2 Severity levels.
  • Shredder: If you successfully hit your target, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. For material armor, this penalty lasts until it is repaired. For intrinsic armor, it lasts until the end of Combat and any relevant wound is healed.

  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.

Slime essence glove

Created and held by Aira (Ashley Scott).
A decorative glove with a jar of refilling slime on the back of it as well as a funnel to the slime, one labelled for blood and the other for water. it is covered in intricate metalwork that has a needle aimed for the hand's base.

the user will slowly pour a gallon of water into the glove slot, somehow all of it being absorbed inside of it as the glove then slashes the user's hand open, and with the needle tool, drip some blood into the slime-water concoction, causing a volatile reaction that creates a Slime-bat similar in appearance to Aira's slime, Lavender. In fact, it is literally a clone of that slime created from a small portion of the original.

Sable cradles the Chamomile plushie in her arms, gently rocking back and forth as a soft, gentle lullaby echoes around all who are near. A motherly voice begins to sing, seemingly coming from nowhere, and the beautiful melody lures them into slumber. Those unaffected can sometimes see a beautiful ghostly woman standing behind Sable, hands resting on her shoulders as she sings and gazes down at the child.


Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action. Select a Living target within 30 feet. Roll Perception + Occult at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, your target becomes drowsy for the next 30 seconds, during which time they suffer an additional -2 dice Penalty to all Actions. At the end of their drowsiness, they fall asleep for Contested Outcome x 3 minutes.

Sleeping targets will not prematurely wake up on their own, but may still be woken up by sudden loud noises, being jarred or splashed with water, taking Damage, or similar rousing events. They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.

When an affected target wakes up, they remain drowsy for the next minute, and suffer a -3 dice penalty. If an affected target successfully resists being put to sleep, they will still become drowsy for the next minute, and will suffer the same penalty.

You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: Nightmares. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

  • For targets where "sleep" does not make any sense in terms of flavor, they will power down, freeze, etc, whatever state they can be in which is analogous to sleep.
  • 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.

No matter how difficult times get, you can always rely on a soft, gentle hug from good ol' Chamomile. Holding and talking to the stuffed animal gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.


Expend a point of Battery to activate. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Over the course of one day, your patient must communicate with you and reveal at least one of their Traumas to you, including the details of those Traumas and the circumstances of how they were acquired. After the full treatment time has elapsed, roll Charisma + Alertness at Difficulty 6.

Your target may Resist. If your treatment is successful, you may remove one of the patient's revealed Traumas without incurring any Experience cost.

  • The treatment time may be broken up into multiple sessions if necessary.
  • 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.
