THE.GEM.OF.REMEMBRANCE | |
| A Journey Through Emotions | "To know the past is illuminating the path ahead." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | The Gem of Remembrance was created during a magical war known as the Shattered Epoch in Stars. An ancient order of Keepers believed the wars resulted from failing to learn from the emotional and spiritual consequences of wielding powerful magic like the Kaleidoscope sword. The Keepers crafted the Gem of Remembrance to prevent future generations from repeating these mistakes. This gem, made from ancient crystals, was infused with a connection to the Radiant Path, preserving the wisdom and experiences of past Kaleidoscope wielders. | TYPE: | Memory Artifact. | LOCATION: | The Gem of is Remembrance on Elysium Island in Shimmer, held by the Elite. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | The Gem of Remembrance have changed hands throughout history, beginning with the ancient Keepers who crafted them during the Shattered Epoch. As wars and power shifts occurred, the gem was passed to various factions and notable Adepts, each seeking to harness its wisdom and memories. Now, it falls in the hand of Blake Schmidt, who has been tricked into thinking he can access its power by Emily G. Reed. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. | | The Gem of Remembrance is a radiant crystal gem glowing with an ethereal light that shifts in color based on the user’s emotional state. When worn around the neck, the gem resonates with the Adept's inner thoughts and feelings, creating a powerful connection to the Radiant Path. Designed as a conduit for emotional introspection and growth, the gem serves a profound purpose: to guide Adepts on their journey of self-discovery and mastery of magic. It empowers them to confront their inner demons, unlock the hidden potential within themselves, and connect deeply with the collective experiences of those who wielded the Kaleidoscope sword before them. By navigating the trials of the Radiant Path, Adepts not only gain access to invaluable memories and spells from past users but also cultivate a profound understanding of the complexities of magic. To fully harness the memories and spells of the past users of Kaleidoscope, Adepts must enter a unique mental plane, a surreal dimension shaped by their emotions and experiences. This mental realm, known as the Radiant Path, is a labyrinth tailored to challenge the Adept's inner self and grant access to the Legacy Echo, the memories and spells of those who wielded the Kaleidoscope before them. Each trial serves as a key, unlocking new chambers within this surreal dimension where spectral copies of past Adepts reside. However, due to The Gem of Remembrance's weaker connection to the Radiant Path compared to Kaleidoscope, the Adept cannot quickly access the spells and knowledge of these former wielders. Instead, they must rely on the specters to grant them access. These spectral forms are not mere echoes but mirror images of their original selves, infused with distinct personalities, experiences, and emotions. Upon completing a trial, a new space within the Radiant Path opens, revealing more of these spectral figures. Each spectral copy has its unique demeanor; some may be wise and nurturing, while others could be fierce, aloof, or hostile. The Adept can engage with these figures, attempting to draw upon their insights and lessons. However, the spectral copies have complete autonomy in sharing their spells and knowledge. They may offer all, some, or none of their abilities based on their personalities and how they perceive the Adept’s worthiness or intent. As they embark on this transformative journey, the Adept must face ten trials, each intricately designed to resonate with their personal experiences and emotional landscape. The Red trial ignites a fiery rage, forcing the Adept to confront their anger in its rawest form. The Blue trial envelops them in profound sadness, challenging them to reconcile with loss and grief. The Yellow trial instills fear, presenting phantoms of their darkest anxieties. The Green trial bathes them in joyous memories, urging them to embrace positivity amidst their struggles. ................................................................................................ |
As Adepts conquer each trial, they unlock new knowledge and spells from those who came before, enriching their magical abilities through engaging with these spectral figures. The Orange trial demands courage, compelling the Adept to stand firm against their fears. The White trial of nostalgia encourages reflection on their past. The Purple trial taps into anticipation, teaching the Adept to look forward with hope and resilience. The Black trial confronts the depths of apathy, challenging them to awaken their drive and purpose. Finally, the Gold trial of pride helps them embrace their strengths without succumbing to arrogance, while the Pink trial of love teaches them the significance of connection and empathy. Upon completing the trials using The Gem of Remembrance, Adept's progress seamlessly transfers to the Kaleidoscope. This unique connection ensures they do not need to undergo the trials again and unlocks the power of Kaleidoscope. Once a spell has been permanently added to their arsenal, it becomes an inherent part of the Adept's capabilities, independent of the Gem or Sword itself. This transformation empowers them to utilize the spell at will, even when separated from The Gem of Remembrance or Kaleidoscope.
Upon completing all ten trials within the Radiant Path, The Gem of Remembrance's true power awakens. Rather than directly revealing the location of the Kaleidoscope, the gem initiates a connection between the two. This bond manifests as fleeting Recollections, brief glimpses of the landscape surrounding the sword. Though initially unclear, these visions sharpen with focus, gradually forming a detailed mental image of where the Kaleidoscope is located. As the Adept becomes more attuned to the gem, these images evolve into a powerful instinct, pulling them toward the sword’s location. In moments of deep concentration, this guiding force becomes more robust, almost as if the Kaleidoscope calls out to be found. The closer the Adept gets, the more this pull becomes until the sword’s exact location is revealed.
