THE.BLACK.MIRROR.STONE
| The Apparition Exorcist | "In darkness, even the dead fear their reflection." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | The Black Mirror Stone was forged from the collective fears and beliefs of those who have encountered Apparitions throughout history. 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. | TYPE: | Exorcism Artifact. | LOCATION: | 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. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. |	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.

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.

KALEIDOSCOPE
| The Soul of Lux | "More than a weapon, believe in the power it reveals." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | Kaleidoscope was born from the deep belief in the boundless potential of Lux, created when an Adept merged pure Lux with an ancient crystal blade. This fusion was driven by the conviction that magic is limitless in its purest form. The sword's transformative nature reflects this belief, allowing it to shift with the wielder's will and ability | TYPE: | Lux-Infused Sword. | LOCATION: | Darius Blackwood last wielded Kaleidoscope during his ill-fated attempt to conquer his city, Ravenscroft, Massachusetts. After killing him in the ensuing conflict, the sword was taken from him and hidden away to prevent its power from being misused. Its exact location remains a mystery. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Sir Cedric the Just: The first user of Kaleidoscope, Sir Cedric, a noble knight of the realm, wielded Kaleidoscope infused with the power of Red-Lux to bring peace to a war-torn kingdom. His unwavering sense of duty and strength in battle made him a symbol of hope for the oppressed. Lady Isolde: A healer and protector, Lady Isolde utilized Kaleidoscope imbued with Yellow-Green Lux to amplify her healing abilities during a great war. She created barriers that shielded her allies while mending their wounds with pure Lux energy. Queen Amunet: As a powerful Adept, Queen Amunet wielded Kaleidoscope to protect her kingdom, drawing upon White-Lux to see into the future and guide her people through turbulent times. Khalid: A legendary warrior from Nubia connected to the spirits of the desert, Khalid wielded Kaleidoscope to harness Purple Lux to its fullest extent to defend his homeland from invaders. Darius Black: A Black Lux Adept, Darius Blackwood attempted to use Kaleidoscope to seize control of Ravenscroft. His ambitions were thwarted, and he was ultimately killed in the confrontation. The sword was taken from him and hidden away to prevent its power from falling into the wrong hands again, where it remains lost. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | Kaleidoscope does not grant Abstractions but manipulates pure Lux in ways only Adepts can comprehend. |	Kaleidoscope is a sword unlike any other, crafted from an impossibly pure crystal that constantly shifts in form, color, and texture based on the magic of its wielder. When in the hands of an Adept, the blade becomes a mirror to their spell repertoire, adapting and transforming to amplify their magic. Floramancers wield a blade of twisting roots and blooming flowers, while pyromancers swing a sword of molten fire. However, the true power of Kaleidoscope lies dormant, waiting for the Adept to unlock its full potential through the trials hidden within the Radiant Path. Kaleidoscope is not just a vessel for magic; its physical form possesses remarkable capabilities that set it apart from ordinary weapons. Crafted from an impossibly pure crystal, the blade is virtually indestructible, able to withstand even the most potent attacks without chipping or breaking. Its supernatural sharpness allows it to slice through almost any material effortlessly. However, it remains a finely crafted sword for those lacking Adept status, simply exceptionally sharp and resilient but devoid of the extraordinary powers of possessing Lux. Kaleidoscope stands out as one of the most revered weapons in the All-Verse because of its ability to manipulate Lux in its purest form. Adepts wielding Kaleidoscope do not merely cast spells; they reshape the essence of Lux itself. The sword allows Adepts to cast spells freely within their Lux, even if the spell isn’t in their existing arsenal. With Kaleidoscope, an Adept can tap directly into Lux's raw, unrestrained power, bypassing the usual limitations of knowing or preparing specific spells. The artifact enables Adepts to conjure spells from their imagination, turning any idea or concept into reality as long as it aligns with their Lux. This unrestricted creativity means that the possibilities for spellcasting are endless; an Adept-wielding Kaleidoscope could, for example, summon a firestorm that rains molten glass, manipulate time to slow or speed up events, or create an impenetrable fortress with nothing more than a thought. The sword becomes an extension of their will, channeling Lux’s full potential into forms and effects beyond conventional spellcasting. Kaleidoscope transforms even the most basic magical prowess into a limitless wellspring of creativity and devastation, restricted only by the Adept’s imagination. Kaleidoscope doesn’t allow Adepts to craft spells from their imagination; it also acts as a powerful amplifier for their existing spells, pushing their capabilities to exponential levels. When an Adept wields Kaleidoscope, their established magical arsenal transforms profoundly. For instance, a simple fireball spell might explode into a raging inferno that engulfs an entire battlefield, or a minor healing spell could bloom into a wave of refreshing energy revitalizing a whole group of allies. In its most advanced form, Kaleidoscope allows the Adept to unleash concentrated bursts of pure Lux energy, primal, unrefined magic that bypasses the need for specific spells. These bursts can form beams of destruction, manifest as sweeping waves, or merge into orbs of raw power. In these moments, the distinction between the Adept’s will and the sword’s power becomes blurred, as Kaleidoscope acts as both a conduit and a catalyst for the ultimate expression of Lux. This combination of limitless magical potential, reality-bending creativity, and raw destructive power makes Kaleidoscope one of the most sought-after artifacts in the All-Verse — its true power waiting to be unlocked within the Radiant Path. Legends whisper of Kaleidoscope as the key to realms that lie just beyond the comprehension of ordinary minds. Many Adepts who have wielded the sword claim it is more than a mere weapon; they say it possesses the potential to unlock the deepest mysteries of the All-Verse. Some scholars believe that with Kaleidoscope, one can navigate the pathways that lead to the very essence that binds all sentient life. The Radiant Path To fully harness the power of Kaleidoscope, Adepts must enter the sword's unique mental plane—a surreal dimension shaped by their own emotions and experiences. This mental realm, 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 past users. Within this dimension, they encounter ten distinct trials, each corresponding to a different color of Lux and the emotions it embodies. As they navigate this ethereal landscape, Adepts face their vulnerabilities and the very essence of what it means to wield magic. Each trial is meticulously crafted to resonate with the Adept's journey, pushing them to confront their trauma, fears, and anxieties. The prosecution of Red ignites a fiery rage, forcing the Adept to confront their anger in its rawest form, while 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, while the Green trial bathes them in joyous memories, urging them to embrace positivity amidst their struggles. Each color not only tests the Adept's resolve but also gradually opens their mind to the vast possibilities of the universe. As Adepts conquer each trial, they unlock new pieces of Kaleidoscope’s power, deepening their connection to the sword and its boundless potential, enriched by the memories of those who wielded it before. The Orange trial demands courage, compelling the Adept to stand firm against their fears, while 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. In contrast, 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. With each trial completed, the sword morphs, revealing new powers reflective of the Adept’s growth and emotional mastery, culminating in a symbiotic relationship where Adept and Kaleidoscope become one. Legacy Echo Kaleidoscope is a powerful weapon and a repository of the memories and experiences of all Adepts who have wielded it. Each time a new Adept undertakes the trials within the Radiant Path, they don’t just confront their emotions; they tap into past users' collective wisdom and spellcraft. As the Adept progresses through the ten trials, they can access fragments of memories stored within the sword, revealing the spells, techniques, and insights that previous wielders have unlocked over centuries. These memories come to life as Recollections, giving the Adept a first-hand understanding of each spell's origin, intricacies, and applications. Once an Adept has successfully navigated a trial, they can permanently incorporate the knowledge gleaned from the sword into their magical arsenal. This process involves a deep, meditative connection with the Kaleidoscope, where the Adept channels their will and emotional energy into the sword. By forging this bond, they imprint their essence onto the memories, transforming them into an integral part of their spell repertoire as long as the spell matches their Lux. The act of resonance requires focus, as the Adept must align their emotional state with the memory they wish to adopt. Once a spell has been permanently added to their arsenal, it becomes an inherent part of the Adept's capabilities, independent of the sword. This transformation empowers them to utilize the spell at will, even if they separate from Kaleidoscope. In this way, Kaleidoscope transcends its role as a mere artifact; it becomes a bridge between the past and present, allowing Adepts to explore the depths of magic while contributing to the ongoing legacy of the sword. Each new Adept adds its chapter to Kaleidoscope’s history, ensuring its power grows ever more profoundly and varied with each generation of welders. .........................................................................................

LUCIA
| Beacon of the Void. | "In the depths of despair, I will guide you home. ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | Lucia was created to explore the uncharted and desolate realms of the Void. Its first wielder, Lucia, was an intrepid explorer who was the first to venture into this cold abyss. Though the Void was filled with eldritch abominations, Lucia wielded her sword with an unyielding spirit, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire to uncover hidden secrets. As she traversed the dark expanses, facing the horrors, Lucia became the embodiment of hope for the lost souls trapped within this realm of despair. Her unwavering courage and fierce determination to protect those trapped in the Void allowed her to connect with the essence of her sword. In the face of unimaginable terror, her belief in a just cause and her fierce desire to bring light to the darkness transformed the sword into a sentient artifact. Upon her disappearance in the Void, the sword absorbed her spirit, becoming Lucia, a guardian of lost souls, eternally bound to the cold emptiness of the Void. | TYPE: | Sentient Sword. | LOCATION: | Lucia resides within the Void and cannot be taken out. It travels from place to place. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Lucia has been used rarely as it primarily guides those trapped in the Void out. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. |	Lucia is a blade with unique sentience. It can communicate with those around it and offer guidance and support through the treacherous realms it inhabits. Lucia's playful yet wise personality often provides insight, encouragement, or light-hearted banter to ease the tension during dangerous encounters. Its playful nature helps lift the spirits of those who wield it. Lucia spends its time tracking down individuals trapped in the Void. Once located, the sword opens a portal to reality, allowing these souls to escape the Void and return to reality. With each soul rescued, Lucia grows stronger, becoming far more powerful and capable of slaying even stronger Eldritch Horrors. However, Lucia can only be wielded in combat by those who champion a just cause. When a noble purpose drives the wielder, Lucia channels its true power, enhancing their Abstractions in the battle against the eldritch horrors that roam the Void. In combat, the sword emits a radiant shield that wards off these abominations, creating a light barrier. Additionally, this shield protects the wielder’s mind from the maddening influence of the abominations and keeps them sane. Despite its formidable powers, Lucia cannot be removed from the Void; it serves solely as a guardian within its boundaries. ..................................................

P190
| The Multiversal Key | "The gateway to infinite realities, crafted from the echoes of lost worlds." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | P190 is a revolutionary artifact designed to open portals to alternate dimensions and realities. It was developed from the remnants of an important final battle, where powerful magical energies converged. This convergence attracted a group of rogue Adepts and scientists seeking to explore the All-Verse. They aimed to create a device that could manipulate the fabric of reality itself. The artifact emerged from their experiments, inadvertently creating the prototype, P180. However, the uncontrolled energies unleashed during the testing of P180 led to its destruction, paving the way for the more stable P190. | TYPE: | Portal-Generating Artifact | LOCATION: | P190 is in the possession of Blake Schmidt, where it is being stored on Elysium Island. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Dr. Rhea Calloway: The chief scientist behind the project, she was the first to successfully wield P190, opening gateways to alternate dimensions before disappearing during an experiment. Viktor Kane: A mercenary who discovered P190, he attempted to use it for his gain, resulting in his tragic fate as he became trapped in a pocket dimension. Sarah Black: An Adept who utilized P190 to traverse realities, she exploited its powers until she was lost to the All-Verse, never to return. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. |	P190 is a complex device resembling a high-tech gauntlet with intricate patterns of light flowing across its surface. When activated, it generates a swirling vortex of colors, signifying the opening of a portal to another world. The device has multiple settings, allowing the wielder to select specific dimensions based on their desires or needs. Its primary function is to create stable portals, enabling travel between realities. Each time a portal is opened, P190 automatically saves the destination coordinates, effectively mapping the user's routes. This "navigation log" allows the wielder to revisit previously traveled locations. The artifact’s mapping ability also extends to recording significant features of each dimension, such as the nature of its inhabitants, environmental conditions, and potential threats. Users can access this information through a holographic interface, making P190 not just a key for travel but also a vital tool for exploration and survival. P190 is equipped with built-in safety measures. It can create temporary shields around the user as they travel, protecting them from potential dangers on the other side of the portal. Additionally, the gauntlet can initiate an emergency recall, pulling the user back to their last safe location if the new dimension becomes hostile or unstable....................................................................................

THE.VAMPIRE.HUNTER
| The Chain of the Silver Dawn | "Strike fear in the cursed." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | The Vampire Hunter was created during great unrest in Eastern Europe when vampire lore and the fear of the undead plagued villages. It was forged by a mysterious order of hunters known as the Brotherhood, who sought to protect humanity from the rising threat of vampires and similar dark beings. Legends say that the blade was crafted using a fragment of the Aberration Killer, infused with sacred silver and blessed under a rising sun, making it particularly potent against the undead. | TYPE: | Chainwhip Bane Weapon. | LOCATION: | On Elysium Island, it is stored in the artifact vault after Emily G. Reed sold it to Blake Schmidt. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | The most notable owner was Elena Dragoș, a legendary vampire hunter who used the Vampire Hunter to vanquish vampires in the Carpathian Mountains. Her fearless exploits inspired a generation of hunters and solidified the weapon’s reputation. Another significant wielder was Marcus Black, a mercenary who wielded the chain-whip against vampires in New York. Another user, Imani Robinson, a witch from rural Louisiana, utilized the weapon to eliminate the vampire that plagued her town. However, she went to St. Portwell, where the 8th St. Coven mobbed her for the Vampire Hunter, and then they sold it to Blake Schmidt. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. |	The Vampire Hunter is a magical bladed chain-whip imbued with the essence of sunlight, making it especially lethal to vampires. Upon contact, the blade burns the flesh of its blood-sucking targets, inflicting burning wounds that cause immense pain and hinder their regenerative abilities. In addition to its lethal capabilities, the Vampire Hunter has a unique ability to sense the presence of vampires nearby. The weapon resonates with the essence of Vampires, allowing the wielder to detect even the faintest traces of vampiric energy within a certain radius. While its primary focus is on vampires, the weapon also affects other paranormal beings. When striking Apparitions, the sunlight in the blade disrupts their essence, causing them to flicker and waver. This disruption temporarily weakens their presence, making it more challenging to utilize their abilities effectively. Other creatures sensitive to light, such as certain Aberrations or Darkness-based Paranormals, may feel a searing heat upon contact. The weapon can magically extend and retract at the wielder’s command, allowing for ranged attacks and swift close-quarters combat. This flexibility enables the user to deliver powerful strikes from a distance, all while inflicting devastating burns on any vampire it touches..............................................................................

APPARITION-REPLICA
| A Faded Echo of Power | "The struggle of those who dare challenge the shadows." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | The Apparition Replica emerged from the desperate hands of a group of aspiring Artificers inspired by the tales of the legendary Apparition Killer. Lacking the skills and materials to forge a true artifact, they crafted this blade using ordinary steel and rudimentary enchantments. While their hearts were in the right place, the Replica lacked its progenitor's grand legacy and potent magic. | TYPE: | Apparition Bane Sword. | LOCATION: | It's on Elysium Island in the Elite's artifact vault. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Kayla: A young Adept who attempted to defend her home from minor Apparition threats, only to find the Replica insufficient. Rowan: An Adept who saw the Replica as a stepping stone to greatness but quickly abandoned it after realizing its limitations. Blake Schmidt: Who got suckered into thinking it to be the actual Apparition Killer by Emily G. Reed. He keeps it in his vault, thinking it's his ultimate weapon. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. | .............................................................................	The Apparition Replica, while inspired by the original, is a far cry from the true power of the Apparition Killer. The blade itself is crafted from ordinary metal, adorned with simple engravings that evoke the ancient runes of its legendary predecessor but lack any actual power. Instead of manifesting as a versatile weapon, the Replica remains a basic sword with minor enchantments. Upon striking an Apparition, the Apparition Replica emits a faint, flickering light and soft wail that momentarily stuns the Apparition. This effect does not inflict any real damage; instead, it stuns the Apparition, causing its form to flicker as if struggling to maintain its cohesion. The stunning effect is brief, typically lasting only a few seconds, but compelling enough to daze the Apparition long enough to take further action against it. During this time, the spirit becomes disoriented, unable to manifest its abilities or focus on its intended actions entirely. Weaker Apparitions may be trapped in a state of confusion for longer, while stronger Apparitions will quickly regain their composure and recover from the stun effect. Despite this, the brief window of vulnerability created by the Replica can be a strategic advantage in combat, allowing the wielder to press the attack or reposition themselves before the Apparition regains its full capabilities. Interestingly, unlike its original counterpart, the Apparition Replica can physically strike humans and Aberrations, delivering tangible blows. However, the effects of its enchantments - specifically the stunning ability - do not apply to them, making the Replica a more versatile weapon in its wielder's hands, albeit inferior when confronting true spirits.

ENMITY
| The Light Smasher | "True power is forged in the shadows of jealousy." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | Enmity was spawned from the collective Enmity and jealousy of Adepts who sought power they could not attain. It is said that during a time of great turmoil in a world known as Glint, the frustrations and resentments of many manifested into this dark artifact, imbued with the very emotions that birthed it. | TYPE: | Magical Hammer | LOCATION: | The last known location of Enmity is within The Pit, where it is wielded by a warlord named Bando Stone. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | While the hammer has not been wielded by many, it is rumored to have been briefly held by a disgraced Adept named Kyoshiro, who sought to use its power to exact revenge on those who wronged him. However, the hammer's immense dark influence ultimately consumed him, leading to his downfall. The current owner is Bando Stone, who uses its dark power to dominate the landscape's inhabitants. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. | .............................................................................	Nicknamed the "Adept Crusher." Enmity is a colossal weapon capable of delivering devastating blows that can shatter bone and spirit. Its sheer size and heft make it not just a weapon but a symbol of brute force. One of the most fearsome abilities of Enmity is its capacity to counter Adept magic. When the hammer strikes an Adept, their spells misfire or dissipate entirely for a brief duration. This disruption is not merely incidental; it is a forceful energy that disrupts the flow of Lux within the vicinity, creating an aura that renders Lux unstable. Furthermore, Enmity can create shockwaves upon impact with the ground. When it strikes, the ground trembles and a powerful wave of energy radiates outward, knocking back anyone caught in its path and disrupting their concentration. The hammer is nearly indestructible, forged from the essence of the dark emotions that birthed it. Many have tried to break or destroy Enmity, but none have succeeded, as it absorbs any attempts to shatter it, growing in power with each failed effort. Adepts cannot so much as touch Enmity without facing dire consequences, as the hammer generates an overwhelming force that repels them upon contact. Any attempt to grasp or contact the hammer results in a violent energy backlash. Moreover, any magical spells cast against Enmity itself are wholly negated, unable to affect the hammer in any way. This protective aura ensures that no Adept can manipulate, damage, or control Enmity through magic.

THE.WISDOM.SCROLL
| The Path to Mastery | "Knowledge is the true weapon; to wield it is to conquer all." ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | The Wisdom Scroll was created by the collective belief and reverence for Hatanaka Takashi, whose legendary skill in battle, compassion, honor, and weaponry mastery created this artifact. It is said that the Scroll was imbued with his spirit, granting it the power to teach those who prove themselves worthy. | TYPE: | Ghost Note: Honestly I don't know what to call this | LOCATION: | Hidden deep within the Hatanaka, guarded by powerful enchants and locks that can only be unlocked by a Hatanaka Heir. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | The Hatanaka Family have exclusively owned the Wisdom Scroll. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. | .............................................................................	The Wisdom Scroll is an ancient parchment that emits an ethereal light when unfurled, casting a soft glow that illuminates the immediate area. This enchanting scroll is a knowledge repository on swordsmanship and mastery of bladed weapons. The user must undertake a grueling trial set in a spiritual plane to access the invaluable knowledge within. This trial is not merely a test of strength; it demands that the challenger confront the spirit of Hatanaka Takashi in a one-on-one duel. The spirit embodies all the skills and insights of its former wielder, making this encounter a physical and mental challenge. To succeed, the user must demonstrate superior combat prowess and a profound understanding of the principles of swordplay, including timing, precision, and adaptability. Defeating Takashi’s spirit unlocks the scroll’s teachings, granting the victor incredible skill with all forms of blades - This mastery transforms the user into a formidable swordsman. As they integrate the wisdom gained from the scroll, they achieve a level of proficiency that elevates them above mere warriors, becoming true masters of the blade.

THE.MAULER
| The Executioner | "Dollhouse execution!" ORIGINS & CREATIONS: | The Mauler was created by a masterful Adept named Mercy Graves, who combined ancient blacksmithing techniques with forbidden magic. It was designed to be the ultimate executioner’s tool, cutting through anything and bringing a slow, painful death to all who opposed its wielder. | TYPE: | Magical Chainsaw/Execution Tool. | LOCATION: | Typically kept in the Dollhouse stronghold, the Funhouse, but sometimes brought to the other outposts if needed. | NOTABLE OWNERS: | Mercy Graves was the original owner, but a masked vigilante used it for a stint. Afterward, it ended up for sale and then was in the hands of the Dollhouse organization after they purchased it. | ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: | No. | .............................................................................	The Mauler is a terrifying artifact designed to cleave through flesh, bone, and any material that dares to stand in its path. This magical chainsaw never dulls, and its enchanted blades whirl with otherworldly energy, making cutting even the most challenging targets a simple, effortless task. Unlike ordinary chainsaws, The Mauler never jams or stalls - devours all obstacles with an almost vicious hunger. This brutal weapon is also equipped with a disturbing ability: it doesn’t just cut the body; it leaves a permanent mark on the soul of its victims. Though it lacks a specific Abstraction, those killed by The Mauler experience a lingering agony even after death—rumors say the blade can sever the connection between body and soul in such a way that the victim’s spirit remains tied to their corpse, unable to pass on. The Mauler is not a subtle weapon. Upon activation, it releases a deafening roar that fills the air with a sound akin to distorted, tortured screams. The weapon's noise and violent nature make it unsuited for stealth but ideal for brutal, overwhelming force. Thus, the Dollhouse organization merely uses it as an execution tool.
