Eight runes are scratched into the metal surface of these containers on the outside corners, and eight on the inside. When activated, a faint werelight outlines them as the container shrinks and morphs into a metal cigarette case with a runic design in the center. Activating this expands the container back to its full size. From inside, the runes glow faintly for as long as the container is shrunk(this does not provide illumination, but indication)
Mike has leaned in on his new employment and marked a number of the various containers from the ship with runes at the interior eight corners which anchor the inner space of the container in place, while opposing runes on the outer corners allow his imbued magic to spatially compress and transform the outside. The cigarette case form is just a jab at his boss's smoking habit.
This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a Shipping Container but can be collapsed into Cigarette Case and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.
Your Shipping Container has a normal storage capacity, but can be collapsed down to a pocket-sized version without losing any internal storage. You cannot access the contents while it is collapsed. Objects stored inside are weightless.
Living things can be stored in your Shipping Container. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the Shipping Container in the process.
If your Shipping Container is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.
When scanned or investigated without opening, the contents of your container appear normal and unremarkable.
The sword shimmers a faint white every few seconds.
Upon the death of the viking Jerry after he accidently fell on his own sword during his first real combat. It just so happens the sword he stole from his father was an artifact he won from being the champion of Odin or some bullshit Jerry barely remembers now.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.
You are permanently transformed into this Artifact.
You can perceive your surroundings as normal, and you may control the functioning of the object you have transformed into (for example, opening your doors if you are a car).
If you are broken, you cannot take any Actions until you are repaired.
If anyone wields, equips, wears, or uses you while you are transformed, you may take physical actions using their body. Your Action comes directly before theirs in Initiative, and all rolls are made with your stats. You may opt to utilize your Action to "help" your host, allowing them to use your dice pool for their chosen Action.
You can use any Powers that do not require movement on your own. You must be wielded or equipped to use other Powers. You cannot use Artifacts or Consumables, but if you have transformed into a Legendary Artifact, you may use the other Effects attached to it.
Your passive Powers affect anyone who wields you.
Who am I but the embodiment of Elvis Presley? Star kissed by the universe to become the soles that carry the King to their next Gig, wearing this is not just an honour, it's a promise to keep his beautiful soul alive! While he may be gone, his spirit shall forever live on on the feet of those who love the sound of music.
Some have tried to uncover why these dancing shoes even do this? Well, that's a question that only the King can answer; and sadly they are quite unintelligible.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.
Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is tripled.
If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 150 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.
Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 150 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) deals 3 Damage which Armor does not reduce.
While using this Effect, you may carry one other being without affecting your Encumbrance, so long as you maintain contact with them for the duration and they consent or are grappled.
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: Complusion to Pose like Elvis after every statement and Sleeping Diet: Instead of eating when hungry, roll a self-control in order not to take sleeping pills instead, gaining penalties involved. If no Sleeping Pills are available, it becomes a Self-Control roll not to overeat to a point of becoming Exhausted for 1 hour. If neither are available, you take a point of Mind damage. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.
The spirit of Elvis cannot ever be killed. The dream carries on forever.

Elvis is not confined to the traditions of mundanity; we're dancing on water, we're dancing on the ceiling, we're dancing on your home, and we're dancing in your mind, we're dancing for your heart <3 I love you. We're dancing until we fucking drop, and if we die? We're dancing in the Afterlife baby. Burning away the sweat of life and enveloping the spirit of Elvis. Their body releases sweat that burns away as steam.

There's nothing that can make Elvis feel like he's gonna die, this isn't a physical armor, but a representation of Elvis being so agile, that it feels like they have armor.
Well, it's one for the money two for the show
Three to get ready now go, cat, go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything but
Lay off of my blue suede shoes
Well, you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes

You have 4 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack.

Elvis bats their eyelashes and hits a pose, pouting in concentration as camera flashing disco balls form above him. He's so alluring, who would ever want to attack him? He looks like... He looks like he's surrounded by an aura of... Beauty!
Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. Roll Dexterity + Athletics at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next (Outcome +4) Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of 4. Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
Elvis evolved the rubber leg dance, and it's very movements are ingrained in their soul. It's a performance, it's an absolute. Jailhouse rock works whenever they need; he's kicking, gyrating, pulsing and spinning their way to becoming the best performer this world has ever seen.
Well, since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
Down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel
Where I'll be, I'll be so lonely, baby
I'll be lonely
I'll be so lonely, I could die
Well, although it's always crowded
You still could find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom
They'll be so, they'll be so lonely, baby
Be so lonely
They'll get so lonely, they could die
Play it, Dan
Well, now, if your baby leaves you
You need a place to dwell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street
To, to, to, to
You'll be so lonely, baby
You will be lonely
You'll be so lonely, you could die
Thank you

The spy can do up their passport to take on the appearance of any valid form of identification they may need.
This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a passport and just as difficult to conceal.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into an Object within the category of forms of identification. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.
The new object's appearance 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.
