A Hatch opens on the arm of the Spark Suit, as The Sparkman attaches his "Ward" onto the surface in question. It doesn't look too out of place, being a pretty small beetle-shaped device that seems to camouflage into the land around it, and it works like a charm.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 10 feet.
You place a ward,. You can hear and see through the ward as though you were standing at its location. This Artifact may have at most 3 wards active at once.
The ward requires Concentration to monitor, though it will remain active until you deactivate it. The ward can be discovered if someone knows what they are looking for, but is otherwise inconspicuous and cannot be identified as a ward.
Your Ward records all activity it observes, regardless of whether or not you are actively monitoring it. This recording can be played back and referenced later.
Luminous takes his soul orb, where as before, with Light of Redemption, he would access a character sheet, tampering into their very soul and re-editing their sheet to restore their scars. Using Light magic as a conduit to access their soul, redeeming them... now, his inner darkness has come to the front.
Using his dark magic as a conduit, different from his normal character editing, he now directly floods a target sheet with darkness. The darkness slowly corrupting their mind, before he readjust them with light magic, putting himself in a superior position over them. Replacing any time the target has felt joy, an absolute bless, or any time they have felt happy or proud, Luminous was the reason for it. He was there for them.

If the contested Outcome is positive, a specific period of time (up to 1 week long) from your target’s memory is either replaced with new memories or forgotten entirely. This is recorded as a Condition. The level of detail and completeness of the alteration depends on your Outcome. If you fail, the target realizes that you are attempting to alter their memories.
The period is chosen either by time (i.e. “last Friday night”) or by reference to a specific event (i.e. “when the murder occurred”). You may also choose to only alter a single specific detail rather than an entire period, such as a password, phone number, directions, etc.
You may use this Power to detect and repair any altered memories in the Target's mind.
Affected targets will invent new memories to justify the inconsistencies. For instance, if their memory was altered to include a new friend they don’t have, they may invent further memories of meeting that friend, spending time with them, etc.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Luminous is actively and obviously invading the being mind, intruding on it.
