[color=2e2c2c].............................................................................[/color][/sup][/center][/cell][cell]The Eternal Feast appears as an ordinary dinner plate; it seems like a mundane piece of dinnerware, perfectly set and ready for a meal. However, this artifact carries a curse that has claimed countless lives.

Once someone draws close enough - within a few feet - the plate triggers its magical properties. It psychically reads the individual’s deepest culinary desires, the memory of the most delicious meal they’ve ever experienced. Without warning, their favorite dish manifests in perfect detail upon the plate, freshly prepared and [i]impossibly[/i] delicious. The food is not just a memory; it is a perfected version, better than they recall. Every bite is intoxicating, more flavorful than anything they’ve [i]ever[/i] tasted, and accompanied by whatever utensils or napkins are needed to make the experience comfortable.

But this is where the curse begins. Once the individual tastes even a [i]crumb[/i], they are trapped in the artifact’s power. No matter how much they try, they cannot stop eating. The compulsion grows with every bite. Their hands move of their own accord, fork and knife slicing through bite after bite, even as their stomach begins to fill and bloat. The sensation of fullness is masked by an overwhelming glee tied to the act of consumption - no pain, no discomfort, just the insatiable urge to [i]continue.[/i]

As they gorge themselves, the amount of food never seems to diminish. The plate magically refills with every finished dish, conjuring more of their favorite foods, sometimes even presenting new courses to tempt the victim further. Each bite becomes more addictive than the last; each swallows feeding the curse's grip on their body and mind. Their body bloats, grotesquely expanding as their weight increases at a comical, almost supernatural rate, their stomach distending as their body swells with food. They become a prisoner, physically unable to stop.

Eventually, the victim collapses from exhaustion, a grotesque parody of their former self, bloated beyond recognition, their body unnaturally stuffed and distorted. Once they fall unconscious, the final part of the curse reveals itself. An Apparition bound to the artifact materializes out of the shadows, and without a word, the Apparition drags them into a rift that appears near the plate. Where they are taken remains unknown, but none who fall prey to the Eternal Feast have ever been seen again.

After the Apparition claims its victim, the plate and utensils disappear without a trace, waiting for its next unsuspecting diner.[/cell][/row][/table]
