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 small, pulsating organ and just as difficult to conceal. Unless it is implanted in a living creature that has the "Pouch" Augment, this Artifact behaves as its mundane counterpart.
Your small, pulsating organ holds 12 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.
Living things can be stored in your small, pulsating organ. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the small, pulsating organ in the process.
If your small, pulsating organ is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.
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.
This Travel Permit bears the signature of the Queen of the Dreamlands and entitles the barer to transit via the paths there. They hold the permit close to their chest, and close their eyes, doing their best to sleep. After a minute, they - and anyone else touching them - collapse into dreamdust, forming in the Travel Plaza in the Dreamlands. Alternatively, from there, they may take any of the paths to... anywhere, really. The Dreamlands touches everything. There's a little bit of lingering exhaustion, though, taking a bit to wake up again.
The Travel Plaza in the Dreamlands is an expansive area, consisting of a large plaza with mirrors around the outside. These mirrors reflect various things in various worlds. Above is a nebula, roiling with purples and reds and yellows. In the distance is a sea, made of mercury that reflects the lights from above.
A path leads from the Plaza to a large castle in the distance, and a city surrounding it.
Notes:
Items cannot be removed from the Dreamlands without other gifts - they collapse into dreamstuff when coming out.

The user draws the paper in which this artifact has been imbued onto and begins to rapidly fold it into the shape of a triangular obelisk. As they fold, the space around them begins to bend and distort, their body splitting apart into several perfect, geometric slices, until eventually they fold in onto themselves. They then unfold, alongside those they are in contact with, at the target location, in several separated pieces that refold to form their shape.

It appears as a clockwork version of the desired weapon. The projectiles are self-produced caseless rounds made of brass. The Words “Mortui salutem” Are etched into each round. Gears churn silently throughout its immaculate brass casing. Shots are left to a whispered hiss of steam. When changing forms tentacles reach out from within the casing and rearrange the barrel and shape in a moment. It can turn into a seemingly mundane lighter with clockwork inspirations that still functions as normally. Diva is a god of violence and craves the thrill of the hunt.
This Artifact can be used as a rifle. It is roughly the same size as a rifle but can be collapsed into a unique clockwork lighter and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.Unless You have another living Artifact, this Artifact behaves as its mundane counterpart.

You plant your feet — low, predatory — and your knees bend like you’re ready to lunge.
Your hands curl slightly, claws flexing out from the fursuit’s gauntlets, and the fur along your shoulders and arms rises sharply, standing on end like a living animal ready to strike.
As you draw in a deep, almost silent breath, the seams of the fursuit stretch over tightened muscle —
you seem to bulk up slightly, not supernatural growth, but like your entire body tenses in perfect readiness.
Then it happens:
You throw your head slightly forward, shoulders rolling, and you roar —
a brutal, guttural blast of sound that isn’t just heard — it hits.
The air distorts in a visible shockwave around your chest and mouth, like a concussive burst.
