When “The Firm’s Uniform” is activated, the transformation it undergoes is both subtle and imbued with an air of professional gravitas. The artifact, perhaps initially resembling a nondescript piece of legal attire or accessory, begins to shimmer with an ethereal gloss reminiscent of the polished sheen on a lawyer’s briefcase or the gleam of a well-maintained courtroom. This visual cue is brief, serving as a prelude to the transformation, much like the opening remarks in a meticulously prepared legal argument.
As the item changes, its edges blur momentarily, mimicking the effect of pages flipping rapidly through a legal tome, searching for the right precedent or statute. This transition is smooth and deliberate, echoing the precision and confidence of a seasoned attorney presenting their case. The new form materializes with the precision of a well-drafted contract, each detail snapping into place with the finality of a judge’s gavel.
This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a Clothing and just as difficult to conceal.
Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into an Object within the category of Clothing. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.
The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.
The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results.

As Harold Polk, or another wielder, engages the mechanism within the Umbrae Defender, the umbrella seems to shimmer slightly in the light, its surface rippling like the surface of a pond disturbed by a gentle breeze. The wielder carefully folds the umbrella into itself, with each fold it becomes smaller and more compact until it assumes the size and shape of a passport. To onlookers, it’s as if the umbrella simply morphs, its colors and textures rearranging themselves into the form of any desired identification or permit. The transformation is smooth and almost imperceptible, save for a brief moment where the air around it seems to warp slightly. When presented, the artifact now perfectly mimics the desired identification, with details filling in to match the observer’s expectations, creating a convincing illusion that withstands casual scrutiny.
