The consumable appears to be a large backpack. One can put any object inside and loudly declares, while holding the backpack, "If only I had [food item]". Be sure that there are no other items in the backpack, because they will be consumed.
(Note that one cannot request a whole dish; for example, they can order plain macaroni, but not mac and cheese).
Open the backpack after five minutes to reveal the requested food item, whose output weight matches that of the input. The taste of the food will depend on the value of the object. Make sure it's exactly 5 minutes. Who knows what'll happen if it isn't.
On a critical fail, black goo will come out of the backpack, but that’s probably fine because the food looks amazing, right?
On the backpack:
It's easy enough to mistake for any backpack at all, and Delphyrion has not put a label on it. They have lost quite a few beakers and pens to it whenever they mused about their next experiment, as they often reach epiphanies by saying, "If only I had [food item]". Perhaps that's why the artifact works this way.
On food quality:
For some reason the output quality directly ties to the price of food in Orlando. So, put a 5-cent pencil in the backpack, and you'll get a 5-cent quality potato fry*.
Also, yeah, make sure it's 5 minutes exactly. This is a theoretical number; no one has tried to test its limits, hence its reference to Schrodinger.
(On a critical fail, one fails to retrieve the food in time and it is either underdeveloped or spoiled.)
*Food will vanish from your stomach after 2 hours.
On the black goo:
Delphyrion themself isn't sure what it is, nor do they ever remember to analyze it. It doesn't seem to leave any residue on the backpack itself, though it stains quite horribly on porous material including skin. With enough washes it should go away.
If consumed, call the Poison Control Center and pray. Oh hey, is the room spinning?
(Also pray that you are not Dephyrion, the chemist who has had 0 interaction with any religion at all, and therefore still thinks priests can get pregnant.)
On Madness:
One gets uncontrollably angry at the sight or mention of any food that did not come out of the backpack. It feels as if one is running a state-of-the-art restaurant, yet people line up for the nearby McDonald's instead. Delphyrion feels this way towards content farms like 1-minute arts.
Use up this backpack (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend 1 minute. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you think the backpack has created the intended food item. In fact, it appears and smells more delightful than it should, to the point that you are urged to eat it right away no matter what. You will develop Vertigo upon eating the food as it turns out to be incredibly poisonous. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
Choose a specific type of Food which could fit inside a regular backpack (up to 27 liters). It must be Non-Alien and generic. You cannot create explosives. You cannot create firearms.
Roll Intellect + Crafts to fabricate up to 5 copies of your chosen Object. The Difficulty is assigned by the GM and depends on the specificity of your chosen Object. The created item lasts 2 hours.
You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.
james wears his mask entering focus mode to prevent incoming danger by summoning
a big ghost figure of the beloved lost sister of james luna. she appears above james in complet anger with her eye being fully white and blood dropping from them like tears she starts screaming sending out a sound shockwave like barrier defending anyone inside it radius
Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. You must actively and obviously use mask to activate this Effect. Roll Dexterity + Melee at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next (Outcome +4) Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. You may choose to create a bubble barrier. If you do, no physical objects or entities can pass into your bubble until the barrier is broken, but you and the barrier cannot move. Any Damage absorbed by the barrier is reflected back to the attacker, up to a maximum of 4. Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see a figure of a ghost appearing above james screaming loudly.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: wheezing.
Imagine a horde of small demon mushroom men, each standing about two feet tall. Their caps are a vibrant mix of deep purples, sickly greens, and ominous blacks, resembling both mushrooms and sinister hats. Their bodies are squat and bulbous, covered in a textured, spore-like skin that shimmers in the dim light.
Each creature has wide, glowing eyes that flicker like candle flames, conveying both mischief and malice. Instead of mouths, they sport jagged, gaping maws filled with tiny, needle-like teeth, ready to snap at anything that comes too close.
Their limbs are spindly and disproportionate, with long fingers that end in sharp, claw-like nails, perfect for digging into the ground or snatching at prey. As they move, they emit a faint, earthy smell mixed with a hint of decay, and small clouds of spores waft around them, creating an almost dreamlike haze.
In unison, they scuttle forward, their tiny feet barely making a sound, creating a sense of creeping dread. They communicate through high-pitched cackles and chattering noises, sharing their wicked intentions as they swarm, ready to spread chaos wherever they roam
In shadows deep, where whispers creep,
Small demon mushrooms dance and leap.
With caps of gloom and eyes aglow,
They skitter forth in a wicked flow.
Their spore-filled laughter fills the air,
A mischievous sound, a chilling snare.
In crooked lines, they scuttle near,
With jagged grins, they spread their fear.
A horde of mischief, sly and spry,
In moonlit nights, they prowl and pry.
Beware the woods where they convene,
For in their dance, dark dreams are seen.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must actively and obviously use A Drop Of Blood and A Song To Unleash The Horde to activate this Effect.
Summon up to 3 Sapient anamorphic Mushroom Demons________ at your location. They last for two hours or until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most 3 minions active at a time.
The watch's face starts to contort as one focuses their mind on the watch, pleading with it, asking it for more. The watch will concede its contents and provide you what you ask for, relief.
Blood will coagulate on the face, using surface tension to hold onto the face. All it takes is a lick to see your problems dissipate.

You may cure any Non-Alien diseases, toxins, or poisons afflicting yourself even if you have not diagnosed or fully understood it. You may cure diseases or poisons even if they are not treatable through modern medicine. During treatment, the malady you are treating does not progress or cause additional Damage or other effects.
The beastmaster closes their eyes and channels nature's bloody struggle for survival. When their eyes reopen, they catch the light and glow red like a dog's. While in this heightened state, they may sense heat signatures and triangulate the tiniest sound.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
Your senses are enhanced in the following way. Lasts for three hours.
Cinder's skin begins to glow from the inside out, eventually her skin seems to just be flames. Her hair is replaced with an open fire that surges with her emotions, but never catches anything she doesn't want to light.
Her physical shape changes, too. Her breasts grow out, her hips and thighs grow wider, while her waist shrinks just a bit. Giving her an over all more curved figure, but still recognizably her.
Her voice raises in pitch and her smile looks brighter than ever.
Cinder's true form rises to the surface, for just a moment. It's enough to make Cinder glow for the entire day, though.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You transform into a humanoid fire elemental for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are a humanoid fire elemental, and you can use your equipment. Your Battle Scars, Injuries, and physical Liabilities are carried over between forms. Reverting from your Alternate Form cannot cause your existing Injuries to kill you. Instead, you remain Incapacitated.
While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 2. Your Stress is reduced by 2.
Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).
You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
While transformed, you automatically fail any Mind roll to resist an impulse and suffer -3 dice on all other Mind rolls.
The magician dons an unusual piece of clothing and immediately shifts their appearance to be completely different! However, they must reveal their true identity before they can cast any more spells.
Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. You must actively and obviously use a piece of clothing you wouldn't normally wear to activate this Effect.
You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts for two hours, or you may end it early at will.
The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise cannot directly mimic an existing person. You may change the appearance of your outfit. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.
You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.
This Effect ends if you take an Injury or are stunned or incapacitated.
While disguised, you cannot use any Activated or Targeted Powers.
If the Selkie's seal skin is worn close to the body, any contact with salt water will cause them to transform into a seal. While transformed, they have full access to their normal suite of Powers.
This Effect activates whenever you are submerged in salt water. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event.
You transform into small for two hours or until you choose to end the Effect. See the Extended System text for stats.
While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (including Artifacts and Consumables), and you cannot use your Active, Targeted, or Trap Powers. However, you can use your Passive Powers. Any equipment you are wearing transforms with you.
Injuries and Wound Level are carried over between forms. However, transforming can never kill you; you merely remain Incapacitated until your Injuries are sufficiently healed.
The aquamancer spends a minute soaking their wounds in at least a gallon of water. During this time, the injured area is obviously absorbing the liquid, and the flesh visibly knits back together.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. You must use up at least a gallon of water in order to activate this Effect. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Survival 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.
The Thief has a stash in which they can store a few objects. It can be accessed through any burlap sack.
