<h2 class="item-title">TOME OF THE METEOR</h2>
<p><strong>Classification:</strong> Book / Magical Relic</p>
<p>
A strange mechanism is encased in the cover of this heavy tome. One of the
most discussed books in the Academys library, this tome presents detailed
descriptions of improbable machines, alongside formulae and prayers to
unknown entities. Even the cover is a mystery: lodged inside the wooden
panel is an extraordinary clockwork device, with comet-shaped pointers
moving at different speeds along a calendar, whose dates and seasons have
nothing to do with ours.
</p>
<p>
Every self-respecting scholar dismisses this artifact as a very elaborate
joke, but the most honest admit that they are a bit worried at the idea
that the mechanism might stop someday.

<h2 class="item-title">UNDOVEN</h2>
<p>
<strong>Description:</strong> A heavy metal contraption, similar to a
portable oven. This relic from a distant time closely resembles a massive
portable oven with a large front door.
</p>
<p>
This artifact possesses the extraordinary ability to disassemble any
complex object into simple materials using heat. It can also
self-recharge, though this process requires significant time.
</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Capacity:</strong> Once per rest, you may place any one piece of
equipment (weapon, armor, shield, or accessory) inside the Undoven to
gain two different materials (see page 74) with a combined value equal
to that of the destroyed item.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Question:</strong> What would happen if you put another artifact
inside?

<h2 class="item-title">WHITE MASK FRAGMENT</h2>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> The right half of a horned wooden mask.</p>
<p>
Some stories tell of how the sculptor Acaunissa lost her inspiration.
During a dream, a bat told her it was stuck at the bottom of Bone Valley
and that only the Vulture King could grant it back to her. Her father
forbade Acaunissa from leaving, but she ignored him and sculpted a white
mask with two horns to trick the souls of the departed.
</p>
<p>
When she met the King, he told her the mask itself was proof her
inspiration had never been lost in the first place. After her return,
Acaunissas father punished her by breaking the mask, but the artists
courage still permeates this fragment and no undead, except Villains, may
harm the one who wears it.
