The Shackle of the Riftway is a powerful artifact and a companion for the Shackle of Serenity: it is designed to anchor Norman to a specific point in time and space, allowing his spirit to travel across dimensions before rematerializing. The bracer is built in black leather, intricately detailed with gold filigree and runes that pulse with otherworldly energy. A series of small, polished links from a runed stainless steel chain are woven into the bracer, reinforcing its ability to connect with the arcane forces of the multiverse. The centerpiece of the bracer is a coin-shaped symbol embedded in the leather, etched with eldritch designs that evoke the ancient power of the Elders who once bestowed these abilities. This symbol acts as the focal point for Norman’s dimensional travels, guiding his spirit as it slips between realms in pursuit of closure, with the first etchings dedicated to a specific site - the Infinite Parking Lot.

Companions gawk at the sheer size and quantity of the equipment the survivalist stores in the Bug-out Bag, but when they open it, they find only a standard set of survival gear. Only when the survivalist opens it is its true capacity revealed.
This Artifact holds 5 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.

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.
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.
When struck, the normally-invisible field of the PSG flashes, revealing a bright yellow honey-comb pattern encasing the body.
