Requires Seasoned
The power to generate useful mundane items.
Created by Riley.
On Legendary Artifact Luci's Sketchbook.
( You must actively and obviously be using Writing Utensil and a Drawing.)

When in an appropriate light level, Luci's shadow will flare and begin dripping upward like molten ink. It wraps around her arm like a coil and imbues itself into her writing utensil. Luci doodles down what she desires to create. If the drawing is competent enough, her shadows will pool around it and she'll be able to reach into the drawing and pull out whatever item she drew. The drawings can be predone so long as they follow along with the proper prerequisites.


Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless Must be in sufficient darkness or shade. You must actively and obviously use Writing Utensil and a Drawing to activate this Effect.

Choose an Object which could fit inside a messenger bag (up to 10 liters). It cannot be Alien but can include rare or complex materials (such as radium). You cannot create explosives. You may create firearms.

Roll Perception + Crafts to fabricate your chosen Object. The Difficulty is assigned by the GM and depends on the specificity of your chosen Object. Created item lasts 1 hour, but you may keep up to three fabricated objects at a time that do not expire after an hour, and will last until they are destroyed.

  • If you want to make a new object which doesn't expire and you already have 3, you must choose one of those three and let it expire. You can still fabricate temporary items when you are maxed out on permanent ones.
  • You can fabricate a container of something so long as it contains a single type of thing (such as a tank of water) or it is designed to be packaged together (such as a first aid kit).
  • For setting the difficulty for the fabrication roll, something like a "shirt" would be difficulty 5, whereas "Police uniform" would be difficulty 9. The Outcome determines overall quality and how well the item fits the request.
