Silver Bullet I've hit it right on the mark, haven't I?

1
An extraordinary crossbow.
Used by Koriol Celestheryne, Created by Cryst0lline.
(When actively using this Artifact in any way that exceeds what a mundane counterpart could do, it is obviously Alien and cannot be concealed under your clothes or similar.)

These days, being smart is hardly enough to solve mysteries. Sometimes you have to shoot them in the face. Sometimes you want to shoot them in the face, because forgiveness is a learned weakness.
Upon you, we bestow knowledge accrued from three minds past. Never thought you'd become an ammunitions expert, did you?
Well?
You have everything you need.
What are you waiting for?

On shooting:
Shooting a gun is very much like deductive reasoning. At least, that's how Koriol imagines it'd be - he's barely held a gun his entire life, and suddenly he finds that he needs it more than ever. Ready, aim, shoot - you'd have to be pretty accurate in both cases.

On schematics:
As the 4th Knobbler, Koriol has gained access to schematics that allow him to forge certain weapons. While the Knoblobber is far from a normal gun, all he really needs to do is change up the size and shape of the barrel and cylinder. The mechanics can't be that different. Now, you have a revolver... hey, who else used revolvers, again? No, not that guy, the other one...

This Artifact can be used as a crossbow. It is roughly the same size as a crossbow and just as difficult to conceal.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +2 Weapon Damage. Attacks do not require a successful called shot to do damage.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: Doorknob Compulsion: Anytime that you come across a doorknob or doorknob-shaped object, you must succeed a Self-Control roll to resist the urge to steal it. If you fail, you may Exert your Mind to overcome the urge. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Virtuoso's Vessel: When using this Device for its primary purpose, you always roll a minimum of 8 dice. Excludes Effect activation rolls.

  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.
