( You must actively and obviously be using up a gallon of water. You must obviously use this Artifact to activate this Effect. When activating this Effect, this Artifact is obviously Alien and cannot be concealed under your clothes or similar.)

The jacket whips back and forth, as if caught within a storm, as the wearer holds their hands out. Nearby unattended water flows towards them, forming a bubble between their hands. As the Lake Lord's eyes glow a vibrant blue, the bubble grows and glows in turn, before the wearer claps their hands together and the ritual ends. The wearer can feel the presence of the detected beings as if they were ripples on an endless, still ocean.

The Lake Lord is a being of purest water, and thus oddities are keenly clear to it. It's influence of purity only extends to its own body, however. And so the Conduit comes into play. The conduit's role is to internalize the power of the Lake Lord, then push that power outwards to affect the world.

The raincoat gifted from a mother to her child, sewn with the Lake Lord's power, created to allow Brooke to harness the power of their shared patron.
