Its creation is steeped in legend, believed to have been sculpted by an ancient Adept who sought to protect the living from the spirits. The intricate runes carved into its surface are said to represent the very essence of fear, manifesting a power that drives Apparitions away. | [b]TYPE:[/b] | Exorcism Artifact. | [b]LOCATION:[/b] | The last known whereabouts of the Black Mirror Stone is in the ominous depths of the Pit. It is said that a cult, fearing the artifact's power would be used against them, deliberately cast the stone into this desolate wasteland. | [b]NOTABLE OWNERS:[/b] | | [b]ABSTRACTION-GRANTING:[/b] | No. | [/sup][/center][/cell][cell]The Black Mirror Stone manifests as a foreboding slab, resembling a tombstone, that ominously reflects the darkness surrounding it. Its surface is adorned with intricate runes that resemble gaping holes, creating a disquieting appearance. However, the most unsettling aspect of the Black Mirror Stone lies in its strange and haunting reflection. Unlike ordinary mirrors, it reveals only Apparitions, and when these spectral entities dare to approach its surface, they are met with an unbearable pain specifically designed to torment their kind. Once caught in the stone’s reflection, an Apparition cannot escape; the intense agony serves to immobilize and sap away at their Abstraction. The Black Mirror Stone is among the rarest of artifacts, its capabilities transcending the ordinary. It is one of the few relics capable of forcibly removing an Apparition from an Adjoined individual, which many Adepts dream of achieving but few can accomplish. Additionally, it can expel an Apparition from an Abscised body, severing the bond between the Apparition and its unwilling host.[/cell][/row][/table]
