This Mirror was made by Vel by accident and can't be remade. Waking from a nightmare, Vel ran to the bathroom and vomited. They spent the rest of the night staring into the bathroom mirror, talking about what happened. At some point their power triggered, and the Mirror was given its ability.

The mirror effectively creates a temporary duplicate of the individuals targeted and drags that duplicate through experiencing the trauma. The duplicates know they are duplicates, but don't have any of the traumas the targeted individual has.

They then, at the end of this experience need to be convinced to go through the trauma once more, and in so doing remove it from the contractor being targeted. The duplicates have all their memories, care about their duplicate, and know they will cease to exist one way or another. They just need to be convinced to suffer more first.

Exert your Mind to activate. Select a Living target at any distance, provided you are able to communicate. 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 + Influence 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.

You may heal a Trauma on any number of targets with a single activation of this Effect, but any Traumas which you treat are revealed to the entire group.

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality.

This Artifact cannot be broken.

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

  • "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.
