( You must use this Artifact obviously when activating this Effect.)

At first glance, they are nothing more than stylish, unassuming shoes. But hidden within them is a potent secret, revealed only to those who know where to press. A discreet button activates an ancient mechanism, causing slender, tooth-like projections to emerge, resembling the fangs of a vampire. These teeth gently anchor into the wearer’s ankles, creating a connection that feels less like an intrusion and more like a merging of beings.

As this bond takes hold, the shoes undergo a remarkable transformation. They darken to an almost supernatural black, becoming one with the shadows. The once ordinary material takes on a new texture, akin to a living creature, but without any conspicuous glow or light. This absence of luminescence is crucial, maintaining the element of stealth that is vital for a creature of the night.

Empowered by this unique connection, the wearer finds their abilities significantly heightened. The shoes facilitate effortless navigation through complex environments – slipping through crowded spaces, running assuredly in complete darkness, climbing vertical surfaces with ease, and moving undetected in the shadows. Each movement becomes a whisper in the night, silent and unseen.

However, such power is not without its limitations and risks. The shoes are sensitive to sunlight and require concentration to activate. Once their magic fades, the wearer experiences a temporary but significant reduction in their agility, a reminder of the ephemeral nature of such enchantment. Additionally, the invocation of this ancient magic is not without danger; a misalignment between wearer and artifact can result in physical harm, a testament to the balance required to wield such potent forces.

Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: You Press a button on the shoes and needles appear anround the top inject themself into the ankles securing themselves to the feet. Next Blood begins flowing through them causing them to have a black appearance with blue veins appearing in the shoes.. This Effect cannot be used unless Can not be used in direct sunlight. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.
