The artifact holds at least one demon bound to obey the commands and will of the wielder and advance their interests. When used a demon crawl's its way out of the object, and leap out, looking for enemies.
The demon in this iteration looks like a small creature of shadow, about the proportions of a human 10 year old, but stretched upwards to be thin and lanky with dark scales, blank white eyes, and clawed fingers. When firing at range, the shoot dark blades the dissipate after impact.
The demon has a mental connection with its user that the user can feel as long as the demon is alive. The user can hear them speak through this connection, and send commands.
This artifact is made by summoning a demon, making a deal with it, and binding it to the object in a long ritual.

A pair of small brown ears emerge from the sides of Henry's mop of mousy brown hair, swiftly followed by a bluish ghostly afterimage. Then comes the long and sinuous tail and the eye-mask obscured by his half-burned face - then a very rapid shrinking that one would miss if they blinked at the wrong moment. Congratulations, you have recieved [mini thief]
To Henry, transformation feels like putting on leather pants or a leather jumpsuit that is at least two sizes too small yet slipping into them as easily and smoothly as if he'd been covered in butter - which are both two separate things that he has done separately, he will consistently insist.
