A longsword with a blade light blue like the reflection of moonlight on a lake. It’s guard looks as if it was made of pure gold. The hilt is the color of emerald with symbols and insignias that had their meaning long forgotten to time. The pommel seems to have been made out to the same material as the guard.
The tale of the sword tells ,that a king of older days sought out to create a weapon which would make him the most invincible warrior under the sun. He called upon a witch who told him to bring 10 bars of gold and 10 if the best emeralds at full moon to a mystical lake at the outskirts of the kingdom and that only a just king is worthy of holding such blade. The king brought the items there and as instructed put them in the water of the lake. He saw that the light of the moon hit the center of the lake , a women whose Beauty was not matched emerged from it with the legendary sword in hand.
The sword made the old king unstoppable he went against the wishes of the witch and started a crusade to accumulate as much land and power as he could. It was a time of the shedding of blood and the shedding of tears.
The blade was turned from its holy blue into a demonic red and the hunger for blood seemed to would have never ended. That’s why the son of the king sneaked into his chambers one night and used the forsaken sword to cut of the kings head.
The son returned the sword to the lady of the lake at full moon to wash off its sins. Once the water touched its blade, the red colour faded away and left behind the original blue colour. The lady inquired if he wanted it back but the new king knew that he was equally as unworthy as his father was to wield such divine weapon.
It was laying there barren until now!

Off-white needles made of bone, dripping ink that seems to leap off the tip of the needles. The augmenting process is mostly preparation, thoroughly sterilizing the area and discussing what animal effectively represents the desired effect, before touching the needle to the recipient's skin.

You speak the activation phrase into the mirror. You see in the mirror a more whole version of yourself chained to the floor in a room mirroring the room you are in. You can talk to your mirror self about your traumas and bad memories, such that the mirror self knows fully the cause of the trauma.
Then, you must convince your mirror self to take the trauma in your place.
You can also act as an intermediary for others to use the mirror from a distance. The target must share the trauma's, their origin, and the details of it. As you get these details, you see the mirror forms an image of a more whole version of the person you are talking to. The room also reflects the area they received the trauma. The duplicate is dragged through the experience, by chained manacles which force them to enact the traumatizing event.
You then convince them to take the trauma for their corresponding mirrored self. You can talk to multiple people at the same time/ effect all targets with this.
If you succeed, you see them be affected immediately, taking on the physical condition of the contractor at the time they received the trauma, and the room shifts to be a reflection of the traumatic moment.

The mirror effectively creates a temporary duplicate of the individuals targeted and drags that duplicate through experiencing the trauma. The duplicates know they are duplicates, but don't have any of the traumas the targeted individual has.
They then, at the end of this experience need to be convinced to go through the trauma once more, and in so doing remove it from the contractor being targeted. The duplicates have all their memories, care about their duplicate, and know they will cease to exist one way or another. They just need to be convinced to suffer more first.

The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy. The wearer's face is exposed normally, but when a battle begins, a blue holographic visor flickers to life in front of the eyes. This HUD contains information about the soldier's ammunition and shield status, but more significantly can detect enemy combatants. Anyone nearby who is holding a weapon is painted with a red dot that follows them in real time.

The period is chosen either by time (i.e. “last Friday night”) or by reference to a specific event (i.e. “when the murder occurred”).

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
