He cannot affect the real world while there, but is still able to perceive himself and his consciousness as existing, and may return to the location from which he vanished at any point (he will return automatically after a few minutes, as the pocket realm is unstable and cannot remain structurally sound much longer than that).

Spend a Quick 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.

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) or any situation which makes the size/weight disparity particularly noticeable will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
