Relics of the Dead Age.
*Relics are objects that have absorbed personality, tragedy, raw emotion, and other extremes from mortal and divine life. They gain power from those who once held them and are a major source of power among those evading the Astarte forces. *
Relic Name: The Melting Mask
Type: Misc.
Origin Class: Idols of the Thralls.
Appearance: A smooth copper mask turned green with patina. By the looks of it, this item was originally forged by pouring molten copper over someone’s face, giving it a melting quality to its appearance. The grimy reflection seems to change with every angle one looks at it. It is the symbol of Margot, the demon lady of Envy. It curses with a murky, powerful energy that feels like cold slime running down your spine.
Phenomenal Traits:
Melt Away Mask: Have you ever felt that you just wish you could melt away to escape the embarrassment or pain? Those who channel this relic can turn parts of their body, or their entire body, into a thick black ooze that they can shape, squeeze through tight spaces (though their equipment remains physically intact and can be carried by their mass), augment their attack range with long oozing arms, and take the shape of any humanoid.
Envious Power: One may mimic magical spells you witness binding it, one at a time, to this relic, allowing you to repeat it in turn at your whim, though at the cost of your own energy.
Eternal Longing: Margot whispers into your ears all that you hate about yourself; all you wish could change, twisting your insecurities and emotions to turn you not against others but against yourself. Those channeling this relic are vulnerable to all the Thrall Vices. This relic is a safety blanket, a safe place, a warmth from the cold, uncaring masses, and requires a decent amount of will to relinquish its channeling. You’re also pretty sure Margot will be heartbroken that you threw her away like so many before you.
