A shadow separates itself painfully from Evan. Dark tentacles sprout from the shadow and reach out to knit a copy of Evan's arm, reaching out as if to grab threads and needles from surrounding matter. From the right angle one can see the faint limb, seemingly thin as paper, appearing and connecting to Evan's forearm. It hides like a living being, in folds of clothing or draped around Evan but stands ready, as a snake, ready to strike.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand. Lasts two hours.
Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.
Your extra appendage can be used to attack in exactly the same manner as a Javelin.
Your appendage is capable of bending and squishing in normally-impossible ways. It may fit through any gap that is not water-tight and retain its functionality.
Your extra appendage can stretch to reach an additional 30 feet.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Lovecraftian.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
With the throw of a switch and the crackle of electricity, a pair of metallic arms burst from within the Spark. Lined with thread and severed parts(?), it quickly cobbles together a set of taxidermied creatures, which readily hop to their feet and begin their work. Without a steady source of thread, however, the animals fall apart, meaning they need to stay vaguely nearby for quick repairs if needed.
Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action.
Summon up to 3 Non-Sapient, Animate taxidermied animals at your location. They last until they move more than 150 feet from you or are destroyed They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. This Artifact may have at most 3 minions active at a time.
