The paintbrush is fairly usual, save for its size (2 feet in length) as well as the magnificent engravings along the wood of the handle, that of which depict dream-walkers of the past in a number of ways. Should the item be used, it can be held out, will coursed through its grain and bristle, as it glows ever so greatly, it will extrude the items out of its pure-white bristly tip, as if from no-where. the items will float in place, organized in an orderly fashion, awaiting their acquisition. (Should they not be claimed in a minutes time, the item will fall gently to the floor.)

that to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty;
We indulge her children within us.

Activating this requires Liv to do a small ritual, where she channels the demon from an artifact, and draws on it's knowledge of all the languages of the world. The looks like Liv chanting a bit, and then a bit of dark energy flowing into Liv's mouth.
Liv can speak in any language, and understand all languages exposed she is exposed to. She can allow the demon to speak for her, and it will say what the person she is talking to wants to hear, soothing them.
The power relies on Liv conceptually borrowing the speech ability of demons.

Most people assume Baphomet is Vita’s familiar. He's not. He’s older than that term. He’s not here to serve—he made a deal. One that stitched his fate to Vita’s heartbeat. When she made her wish, the realms cracked open, and something lonely and fanged slipped through. Now he won’t leave. He eats her leftovers, naps on ancient artifacts, and commits minor crimes when unsupervised. She wouldn’t trade him for anything.
When summoned, Vita’s shadow stretches unnaturally long, curling at the edges like smoke. A soundless pressure ripples through the air, like a breath being held too long. From the darkness coils a black-furred cat with star-flecked markings and an infuriating grin. Tiny horns glint above his eyes, and when he takes flight, leathery wings unfurl from his back like forgotten pages of a forbidden book. He lands with the weight of inevitability and the smugness of someone who’s always right.
Baphomet isn’t a summon. He’s a consequence. A fanged pact stitched into Vita’s soul when she gave up her voice and made the mistake of longing out loud. Bound not by spell or leash, but mutual understanding, Bapha walks the line between infernal companion and spiritual parasite. He's not just intelligent—he’s opinionated, meddling, and deeply invested in keeping Vita alive, mostly because he doesn’t want to go back. Where she goes, he follows, uninvited but indispensable. Their connection is deeper than magic. It’s blood, debt, and unspoken love, forged under moonlight and written in claws.

If the Selkie's seal skin is worn close to the body, any contact with salt water will cause them to transform into a seal. While transformed, they have full access to their normal suite of Powers.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
