Its pendant form is a chain necklace, with an ornate sword being the centerpiece. This pendant can be enlarged into a great sword, with a slight golden glow. The sword itself is well made, with olde English engraved into the blade, with the values of the knight's chivalric code. The scabbard is dark brown leather, but the overall silhouette of the sword is a simple European broadsword.
This Artifact can be used as a sword / axe. It is roughly the same size as a sword / axe but can be collapsed into A chain necklace, with a small pendant that looks like a sheathed sword and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

A highly customizable firearm, able to be reconfigured at the user's will. Matter is created out of thin air as the firearm modifies its own form and function to best suit the wants and needs of its performer. The magazine seems to hold four shots, but no matter what it always stays full.
The Adagio Multipurpose Instrument was a modular weapons system designed by Lotus for use by its star assassins. Its standard models required affixing the attachments to the gun manually to alter its performance, but a certain piece, coveted even more than Myrrh Sov's Slugger, was so much more than those it succeeded. Adagio models were kept in instrument cases alongside its varied kit, and labeled as such to lessen suspicion and give a sense of artist's superiority to its users.

The latest enhancement to the Umbrae Defender integrates advanced “black tech” defenses, blending next-generation materials science with covert tracking systems. The artifact now houses a layer of hyper-dense nanofiber mesh, invisible to the naked eye, which disperses kinetic energy from physical attacks. This nanofiber technology, known only to certain government labs and high-clearance contractors, reduces incoming damage significantly, rendering most forms of physical assault virtually ineffective. Only specialized attacks with legally encoded identifiers can bypass this armor, making it uniquely selective.
This nanofiber defense system is reinforced with a self-repairing lattice structure, embedded with molecular memory. If breached or damaged, the mesh automatically reconfigures itself, restoring to full strength within an hour, regardless of the intensity of the assault. This tech is resilient to armor-shredding tactics and cannot be bypassed by targeted shots, ensuring that the defense remains robust and consistent.
Embedded within the artifact is a miniature LiDAR tracking and triangulation system, activated immediately upon impact. When the armor is hit, this tracking system triangulates the origin point of the attack, locking onto the source’s exact location for 30 seconds. Utilizing covert radio frequency analysis, it provides a precise, untraceable data relay to the wearer, giving them a real-time, 360-degree awareness of their assailant’s position. The Umbrae Defender, enhanced by these black tech innovations, offers not only unparalleled defense but also an elite tracking system, turning each encounter into a tactical advantage.

If the contested Outcome is positive, the most recent 1 hour from your target’s memory is either replaced with new memories or forgotten entirely. This is recorded as a Condition.
