When the gun fires, blood red smoke exits the barrel, a silver bullet zooming outwards as the brands on Wick's arms glow white.
Wick had originally claimed this rifle during one of his deep dives into the occult off the corpse of a mauled cultist out into the woods. He supposed it would serve him much better than it did the cultist, and using some of his own know-how (and some help from friends), turned it into the gun it is today.
The name 'Sif' is derived from his beloved childhood dog, whom was killed by a cryptid in the woods when Wick was only 9. He has never let him go since, almost refusing to move on.
This Artifact can be used as a heavy sniper rifle. It is roughly the same size as a heavy sniper rifle but can be collapsed into An embroidered jacket patch of a wolf's head and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

You also gain the following effects:
Day draws (with her finger, or her mage hand) a series of runes over where the injury is, days finger leaves behind faintly glowing lines as she works, the runes describe health, a lack of infection, healing etc. Once day has finished drawing the runes, they stop glowing, but form a series of tattoos over where the injury was, and the injury flows back together. Day must reference her grimoire while drawing, the runes she is drawing will show in her grimoire, and will glow faintly while she is drawing them.
The runes must remain uncovered, this includes cloth, makeup, paint and armor. Hiding the runes is allowed (Holding a briefcase by your leg so that the runes cant be seen is allowed). Generally, if the person who is marked could be considered to be "wearing" the covering, it is not allowed.
Day has some control over where the runes end up, if she is healing a lot of minor injuries, she can concentrate the runes somewhat, and she can move the runes slightly from the original position (to avoid situations that would be...pornographic).
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Crafts at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.

When you take Damage from a source which is within 5 feet, deal back as much Damage as your Armor prevented.

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.
