When the "Umbrae Umbrella 'Perfect Defense'" is in use, its unique feature—an articulating handle—becomes apparent. This sophisticated mechanism allows the handle to bend and rotate, enabling the umbrella to autonomously adjust its position to block attacks from any direction. The moment it detects an incoming threat, the handle flexibly shifts, moving the canopy into the optimal defensive stance to intercept the attack, even if it comes from behind or from an unexpected angle.
Observers witness the handle contorting and twisting in a fluid, almost serpentine manner, while the canopy aligns itself to fend off assaults. This maneuverability ensures comprehensive protection, covering the user from all sides and angles, including overhead and lateral attacks. The handle's movement is smooth and controlled, driven by internal motors and guided by an array of sensors that calculate the best defensive position in real-time.
This active defense system is visually striking, as the umbrella appears to have a life of its own, dynamically responding to threats around the user. The sight of the umbrella pivoting and bending as it protects its bearer not only adds to the spectacle but also highlights the advanced technology embedded within what looks like a conventional accessory.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

The De-Neuralizer is a small silver device that can emanate a bright flash of light. Any being that looks into it with uncovered eyes has their most recent period of the their memory set into a highly over-writable state for a moment. While in this state, their memories may be overwritten at will.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within within arm's reach. All Sapient targets within 20 feet are affected.

If the contested Outcome is positive, the most recent 1 hour from your target’s memory is either replaced with new memories or forgotten entirely. This is recorded as a Condition. The level of detail and completeness of the alteration depends on your Outcome. If you fail, the target realizes that you are attempting to alter their memories.
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 spy can do up their passport to appear as any valid form of identification.
This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a passport and just as difficult to conceal.
Whenever you show this Artifact to someone, you may give a general description of an Object within the category of forms of identification, and anyone who hears the description and sees the Artifact will have their mind fill in the details to complete the illusion.
The way the Artifact is seen can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.
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.
