The digestive system of a Ghoul is best left to imagination. Still, it is worth noting that they have limited stomach acid, relying on bacteria to aid in the consumption of their unique diet. This has a happy side effect, as a Ghoul can, with some practice, dislocate their jaws & swallow a surprising volume, holding it safely to be wretched up later.
Since consuming portions of the Provider, cooked up by the one & only Bu Fang, this ability has been enhanced with the addition of a second stomach of sorts, one capable of containing & astonishing 408 liters of material without issue. The otherworldly symbiote is alive, extracting nutrients from Edgar - in the event of Edgar's death, it will attempt to crawl out of his mouth to save itself. Provided it is maintained, it could be salvaged from his body as a Holding Container.
This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a secondary stomach (40 liters) and just as difficult to conceal.
Your secondary stomach (40 liters) holds 12 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.
Living things can be stored in your secondary stomach (40 liters). They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the secondary stomach (40 liters) in the process.
If your secondary stomach (40 liters) is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.
Only you may open and close the container. Others can still destroy it to get at the contents
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.

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.
