This Artifact cannot be broken. If this Artifact is lost and in no one elseโ€™s possession, it finds its way back to its true owner during the next Downtime.

By default, the creator of this Artifact is its true owner. The true owner may formally bequeath this Artifact onto another person within armโ€™s reach, after which they are its true owner. If the true owner dies or is destroyed, their ownership ends. If this Artifact has no true owner, anyone may spend one day attuning to it to become its true owner.

This Artifact's true owner is always aware of the direction and distance to this Artifact.

If the true owner of this Artifact ever dies, it immediately disappears. At least one week later, it will appear to blood-related kin and reveal its power to them. They become its new true owner.

If this Artifact is used by someone other than its true owner, its true owner is alerted and learns the user's appearance, direction, and distance at that moment. The true owner may use a single investigation Effect on them once at any range.

If this Artifact is in no one elseโ€™s possession, its true owner may Exert their Mind and spend two Actions to bring it to themselves.

This Artifact's true owner must have it with them to have restful sleep. They cannot regain Mind or Source while separated from this Artifact.

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: Compulsion to Comprehend and Compulsion to Conserve. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

  • If there is no available Next of Kin, it will wait two months and then appear to a random person. If multiple next of kin are appropriate, the GM will decide randomly.
  • "Cannot be broken" means that damage cannot render the Artifact's Effects unusable, nor can it cease to be used for its primary mundane purpose, if it has one.

  • Remarkably Self-Aware: You may roll Intellect at Difficulty 6 to โ€œscanโ€ yourself for abnormalities. With Outcome 1-3, any outside influences on your thoughts/mind will be detected, as well as Traumas. With Outcome 4+, you may Exert your Mind to cancel the Effect. One attempt per Effect.

Some wounds never quite heal. Even when they are gone, they leave scars behind. Chronic pains, stiff limbs. All those things which remind us of what happened to us, of what we managed to push through.

Ryan was surprised when the wound, which would surely take a while to heal naturally, healed over the course of following two weeks. Unnaturally fast. Quick test with a knife confirmed it - the shallow cut on a finger was shining weakly, with eerie pale glow, before fading away, as if it was just his imagination.

The cut was gone by the end of the day.
