<h1>Artifact Descriptions</h1>
<section>
<h2>BLACK BLOOD</h2>
<p>A large vial filled with an oily and sticky black substance.</p>
<p>It is said this liquid was gathered from a tainted spring in the depths of the earth. Those who drink it gain a peculiar ability: when killed, their spirit will not return to the stream of souls that permeates the world. Instead, they will retain their conscience and remain bound to the land of the living.</p>
<p>Why anyone would choose such a fate remains a mystery, however...</p>
</section>
<h2>W ROD OF RISING EARTH</h2>
<p>A forearm-sized staff made of brass-like metal.</p>
<p>This powerful artifact comes from an era of lost technology. Its core body is made of a nigh-indestructible and extremely light metal known as orichalcum, encasing a gem formed by crystalized earth spirits. When placed in the center of a structure known as "an orichalcum ring", whose nature and construction is yet unknown, the rod may lift entire landmasses from the ground and cause them to float and move.</p>
<section>
<h2>DEAD MAN'S ZENIT</h2>
<p>It resembles an ancient gold coin, save for the skull on its back. Easily lost or misplaced, this unassuming gold coin appears worn by age. Many who see the shining skull on its flip side would laugh it out as a coinsmith's prank, but old sailors would urge them to let the thing sink to the bottom of the ocean: an old legend tells of an indestructible golden coin whose bearer may command an army of ghostly pirates in exchange for their own soul.</p>
</section>
<h2>SOULREND</h2>
<p>The hyper-sharp edge glows with ominous light...</p>
<p>Resembling the lower portion of a shattered greatsword, this artifact is almost useless in an actual fight: its true power lies somewhere else. If the correct sequence of stances and movements are performed, the wielder may isolate a single consciousness present in the stream of souls and sever it from the flow. This is a Ritualism effect of extreme potency, made easier if the soul in question belongs to someone who recently passed, if they were of especially strong character, or if the wielder of Soulrend had a deep personal bond with them.</p>
<p>Depending on the outcome of the Check, the soul might only be temporarily severed or even become unable to return to the spiritual stream, doomed to gradually vanish into oblivion or trapped in eternal torment.</p>
<section>
<h2>FINAL FEATHER</h2>
<p>This beautiful feather shines with the colors of the rainbow. Countless scholars have debated the nature and origin of this forearm-sized feather but were unable to find an answer. Only two things are certain: it's the last of its kind, and several legends suggest it can be crushed into a light powder that can resurrect a recently fallen creature.</p>
<p>Up until now, no one has gathered the courage to put that legend to the test, especially because it would mean destroying the feather.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>HELM OF THOUGHTS</h2>
<p>Fashioned from the skull of an unknown beast, this helm is surprisingly light. Whoever wears this artifact can effortlessly sense the surface thoughts and emotions of surrounding people. By focusing their attention and using an action, the wearer can read the thoughts of a specific living creature. While using the dreadful power of this artifact, the target only feels a faint tingling sensation at the base of their skull, unaware that their mind is being read.</p>
</section>
<h2>TOME OF THE GATE</h2>
<p>A hefty grimoire. Sometimes, the crimson eye on its cover seems to move...</p>
<p>The pages of this ancient-looking book are filled with unreadable gibberish and unsettling pictures, portraying nightmarish creatures in their adoration of the sky.</p>
<p>If bathed in the light of a full moon, the ink begins to glow a reddish hue and rises from the pages, twisting into a network of writhing tendrils that tear at reality. This artifact opens a path to the cosmos, which will close at daybreak.</p>
