Handcrafted Barrel Replacement A gilded .44 python revolver, which appears to be heavily modified
A handcrafted revolver, looking like it came straight out of a sci-fi detective movie. It has a large silencer built into the barrel, which is rather menacing due to its already large size. Its barrel is longer than the gun itself and is around the size of Nate's forearm. The firearm is spray-painted black.
This Artifact can be used as a handgun. It is roughly the same size as a handgun and just as difficult to conceal.
Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +4 Weapon Damage.
You also gain the following effects:
- Silencer: Shots you fire can be made silent at will.
- Silent Killer: If your shot would kill or incapacitate your target, they make no sound, even incidentally, for the next Round.
- Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.
- Rifles are +1 Difficulty to use in melee range. Sniper Rifles are +3 Difficulty to use without a tripod or in melee range. Setting up a tripod takes an Action.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Oversized and Overpowered
"If that don't work, get more gun."
Less so a firearm and more so a light artillery piece. Its muzzle blast is a dazzlingly bright explosion, lobbing a sizable chunk of metal at modest velocity. This brick of a hand cannon is twice as big as a contemporary handgun, and just as loud. Hearing protection and a suppressor recommended!
This gun is, quite literally, out of this world, whether that means of alien, time-travel, or inter-dimensional means. The bottomless magazine mechanism listed is arcane in nature, and the firearm feeds hulking wildcat .45 caliber cartridges. The gun is sealed (minus the ejection port and barrel) and self-cleaning.
A journal entry about the gun, written by an unknown blacksmith, and scrawled in an unknown language, notes the following improvements to the base design:
"Hellfire" portal technology for self-reloading magazine and self-cleaning mechanism. Ketsteel alloy construction for reduced weight at virtually no cost to durability. Prototype self-guided munitions (mimicking Myrrh Sov's harmonic stone core earthromancy-guiding munitions). An ergonomic grip (to replace the original design's horrid one). Cleaner sight picture. Threaded barrel to accept barrel accessories (the gods know it needs one). Expanded trigger guard to allow use of gloves.

Lith's Kiss
The sidearm of the Stellar Navy has seen Fleet Officer Armitage though many a battle.
The weapon doesn't make any noise, just a flash from the barrel that leaves a blue-green afterglow on anyone's eyes, like looking into the sun for a moment.
A sophisticated piece of Stellar Navy technology, the MPKW 2-18 is the standard sidearm for Fleet Officers of Henry's rank. This one has seen Henry though most of his career, and has a storied, and in some cases sordid, history.
The sidearm has the ability to transform into the needed formfactor via integrated rapid manufacturing systems. It causes ablation of the target, and being a pure energy weapon is completely silent.
Lith has left a fragment of herself inside, and it talks to the user as they hold it, quietly, advising of tactical situations.
This Artifact can be used as a rifle. It is roughly the same size as a rifle and just as difficult to conceal.

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

Energy Conservation
3-D Printing on a molecular level
Skunk-Tech has developed a means of installing an atomic deconstructor and reconstructor in any mundane container. Objected stored in this way is rapidly converted into raw energy, which is stored in the top-of-the-line micro-server embedded into the material of the container. Activated by putting a hand into the bad, the installed neuro-detector scans the thoughts of the user, determining what object to rapidly reprint.
As a safety measure, if the object suffers damage, it is designed to use its remaining energy for an emergency export, printing all stored objects onto the ground around the user.
This Artifact holds 3 times what it normally could inside of it. 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.
- A container of holding cannot be placed inside another created by the same Gift.
- There is no cost to use this container.
Agrotera's Touch
The woods themselves bend to aid the huntress.
From Edith's hands sprout a a single thorn that she detaches and flicks at her target. If it finds its mark, brambles sprout from the ground and entangle her prey.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action. Select a target within 45 feet. Roll Dexterity + Firearms at Difficulty 6. The target may contest by Defending or Dodging.
If you succeed, your target will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They cannot move to a new location, and, if your Contested Outcome was greater than their Brawn, they are encased and cannot take any physical Actions other than attempting to escape until they break free.
The target may spend an Action and roll Brawn or Dexterity + Athletics to attempt to break free. They must accumulate a total Outcome equal to or greater than the original Contested Outcome to escape. Damage to the binding from outside sources also contributes.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Wooden hands.
- For entities whose movement could be considered an attack (e.g. a kaiju), the GM may rule that they are merely slowed instead of fully restricted.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
