First he shoves and lights up a amount of tabbaco on artifact,he takes a breath in.
And the let the smoke out.
In a blink of an eye he makes an all out sprint and before the smoke has chance to fade away,he is already miles away.
Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an Action. You must use up tabbaco in order to activate this Effect.
Lasts 1 minute. Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.
If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 150 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.
Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 150 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) deals 3 Damage which Armor does not reduce.
If you perform an all-out Sprint while this Effect is active, all Attacks targeting you suffer -3 dice for the next Round.
Outside of Combat, any non-Gift, non-movement Actions you attempt take drastically less time to complete, as long as your personal speed is a factor in the Action. Total time reduction is determined by the GM and capped at 90% (executing the Action takes no less than 1/10th the normal time).
If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.
The visor has several visual sensors built into it.

You may perceive things within 75 feet of you with perfect clarity as though there were no walls or obstacles blocking your view for the next 30 minutes.

You may perceive through up to 15 feet of material. The Difficulty of all Perception rolls made through a wall are increased by 1 per wall.
You kick the talons at your enemy, discharging a blast of concussive force. Shotgun shells are automatically discharged from the talons after particularly powerful blows. When grappling, the talons clamp around her targets body and squeeze them.
Simmy made this artifact in an adrenaline-fueled fugue state after her very first mission. She could not replicate it if she tried without a similar surge of divine inspiration.
The inner workings do not simply clamp over the wearer's boots, that would be far too imprecise. It instead has a portion which opens up to recieve the bare foot, and also includes seperate input plate at the toes which allows the wearer to clamp the talon closed at will and even discharge one of it's signature concussive blasts all only through toe inputs.
Simmy is anticipating having a lot of foot jokes made at her expense because of this and is not very happy about that. Still, this is the sort of breakthrough she's been looking for in her technological struggles, even if it's only the very first step. (Ha, step.)

Remus sprouted his Sticky Hand from the stump of his right wrist, now the only arm of his that remained, and spent quite some time fiddling with the button at the back of the PEZ dispenser — eventually managing to pry its plastic contents free of the container with great difficulty. Instinctively knowing to swallow the clown nose, a new arm burst forth, painted bone white and budding with freshly grown red noses.
In case it wasn't obvious from the Visual Description, Clownflesh essentially describes white clown paint and additional red noses growing from large and flat sections of regrown flesh.
Expend a point of Battery and spend a minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scar heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.
You may specify a specific condition that the patient must adhere to. If they break this condition, the treatment is immediately reversed. Record this regimen as a Condition. Lasts until the end of their next Contract or 1 month for non-Contractors.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the rapid vine-like growth of unnatural pale flesh budding with red noses like berries.
Healing a Battle Scar in this way leaves behind Clownflesh on the target which cannot be healed.
