The clown takes aim at a target with his peculiar gun. When he pulls the triger, a bullet doesn´t come out. Instead, what comes out is a flag with the word "bang" on it. The experience may scar the victims mind and leave them traumatised.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient or Creature target within 20 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless The target looks at the gun while it is firing. You must use up Ammunition in order to activate this Effect. Roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 8 with a -3 dice penalty. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically and their Outcome is 0.
If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes Mind damage equal to the Contested Outcome. If you deal at least 3 Mind damage, the target will gain a new Trauma selected by you (the GM can overrule you at their discretion). This Trauma may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy, as normal. Affected targets are aware that they are being attacked and can generally tell who did it.
Whenever wearing this garment, you feel embraced by the robes, protecting you in a way. Getting shot at, stabbed, and anything beyond that, seems to be absorbed within the robes and dissipate, to a degree, before dropping bits of blood, dissolving into the ground to an arrow where the shot/wound ended up from.

You have 4 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack.
Your Armor cannot be destroyed, and it always provides a minimum of 2 Armor regardless of any Armor shredding or penetration. It cannot be circumvented with Called Shots. When shredded, it returns to full potency in one hour.
Whenever your Armor reduces incoming Damage, you are immediately made aware of the source of the Damage. You may pinpoint their location for 30 seconds.

The locket is plain and simple. It does not catch the eye, nor does it exude power on its own. When worn, however, it grants the first step towards eternity. As it sits around one's neck, and only their neck, opening it will reveal what the wearer loves most. Life and love fits in the palm of your hand.
Tapping into one's psyche is something that requires a lifetime of self-care and intrinsic reflection. When you look deep within yourself - at what drives you to strive for your goals - you can push aside pain, and fear, and the weight of the world. Suddenly, your goals become clearer. Your mind no longer needs to stop. Your lungs no longer need to contract, and your stomach never needs to consume. You are more than just your physical body. You are a bundle of nerves and dreams and nightmares that drive a fleshy suit. Life's Locket only asks that you let it handle the burdens of the body, so you can focus on what matters most.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.
You no longer require any food, water, sleep, or air in order to survive. You no longer age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail.

Tam has levitated herself enough that she's learned how 'fling' herself though the air, at a significant rate of speed and control. Once she gets into the routine of doing it, she can keep it going for a couple of hours. It hurts her head a lot getting going to begin with, though, and her gloves are somewhat of a comfort for her. Difficult to focus without them.

You may ascend into the air and fly using your mind. Your Free Movement is Mind x5 feet/Round, including vertically. You cannot Dash.

This Artifact's true owner is always aware of the direction and distance to this Artifact.
Standard issue in the Future Soldier's home time, the Personal Shield Generator (PSG) projects a protective energy barrier around the body. It absorbs damage far better than traditional armor, but its battery is quickly drained. When depleted, the PSG must spend a few seconds recharging.
