Nanite's compress the atomic structure of the container and everything inside into a smaller area, due to the strain this has on the nanite's, it causes purple lines to surround the compressed object and glow brightly.
Your Artifact has a normal storage capacity, but can be collapsed down to a pocket-sized version without losing any internal storage. You cannot access the contents while it is collapsed. Objects stored inside are weightless.
Living things can be stored in this Artifact. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the Artifact in the process.
If this Artifact is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.
When scanned or investigated without opening, the contents of this container appear normal and unremarkable.
An intense cyan light flares from the microprocessor's spot beneath the user's skin (typically installed on the back of the neck or base of the spine). The user's irises, as well as random capillaries in any body parts augmented by their borrowed powers, emit the same light until the channeling is complete.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Choose MOLL(y) as a target, regardless of how far away they are. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you experience a catastrophic synchronization error - immediately gain all of MOLL(y)'s current traumas. If you would gain no traumas from this, roll to resist the following Trauma: 'Identity Sublimation - When using a secondary ability, roll Self-Control. On a failure, roll as though you had a score of 0 in the ability.'. Your target may Resist to cancel the transfer.
You may choose a single instance of one of the following to transfer from your target to yourself, or from yourself to them:
Whenever you transfer an Injury, it's Severity increases by 1. Whenever you transfer Mind damage or Traumas, the recipient takes an additional Mind damage.
The artifact quickly flows like water from one visage to the next, changing to resemble any set of clothing the user can imagine, changing based on the will and image of the user.
The ritual for this is a tricky one. Shape changing objects are a constant in the public's mind, but by it's nature, they aren't don't have many common symbols.
This took some effort from Vel, but after several trials Vel found a ritual involving
1 Destroying several different pieced of clothing simultaneously
2 reading then burning A variety of stories of Loki, Zeus, and other gods effortly changing shape
3 A chant about stories and specifications of shape changing objects in popular media
4 Carving the an image of a chameleon into the artifact being enchanted.
Which worked as intended.
This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a Chestplate and just as difficult to conceal.
Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into an Object within the category of Apparel. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.
The new object's appearance 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.
When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results. This will not open security doors on its own.
If a effect would cause the holder to make a mind roll the blessed object glows faintly and a small rock is formed over the attacker head if they do not exert there mind they are hit in the head by the rock and the power they were using effects stop.

The injector plunges in. Rapid onset fever, elevated heart-rate, some hyperventilation. It settles, typically. The retrovirus isn't perfect. But for the moment, it's good enough. The outcome is striking. Skin or fur blotches, growing patterns that settle into something resembling the background. A formless shape. With an act of will, it can change. Thickened padding, making one silent, or modified sweat glands, eliminating your scent.
It doesn't last forever - not this revision, at least. The body doesn't like it, fights it. Takes it about a half hour to win, on average. But for that time, you're pretty hard to spot.
Exert your Mind and spend one minute.
