Arc 18: Irkalla is nearing. Each day that passes brings discovery of the passageway to the land of the dead one step closer. Each person that participated in Arc 17's World Missions is entitled to select up to two special Artifacts from this list. Some are limited, like the Soulstone. Others can be taken freely. I highly recommend people diversify their selection, but also be sure to have multiple of some items as they will have varying impact on the battles against these Divine beings. Post here with your selection while also linking the world mission you participated in. It doesn't necessarily need to be a passed one either, just as long as there was participation. Multiple world missions do not entitle you to more than two artifacts. I will approve your post before the Arc begins to confirm. I also highly recommend people look at the Spider's wares and consider purchasing enhancements in preparation for Arc 18.
(Kekkai no Yūsei Hikari) – Barrier of Ascendant Light (1x)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A (-80 chakra cost per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: The Barrier of Ascendant Light is a technology developed by the Spider himself. It combines ancient Irkallan runic magic with his own mix of Barrier Ninjutsu, producing what he calls Ascendant Light. The device itself appears as a small grey cylindrical transponder, and is placed on the ground by the user to release the barrier. The barrier shimmers a golden light, illuminating an area within short-range of the transponder’s position. Encroaching Darkness prevents the light from radiating, retaining absolute darkness outside of the barrier’s walls. While within it Champions of Humanity are protected from the Hymns of Unweaving and Weaving, with the exception of Displacement effects. Each transponder can be used any number of times, but when disabled it cannot be used for four turns. The barrier has a maximum of 120 health points, and once destroyed they become disabled for the aforementioned turn limit.
(Jigen Seisei Tanmatsu) – Dimensional Generating Rift Device (0x)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 100
Damage: N/A
Description: A spacetime portal device provided by the Spider intentionally engineered to split a dimensional rift within the Fields of Suffering. The wielder of this device activates it, at an immense cost to their chakra, to open two portals: one to the Realm of Paradise and the other to the Realm of Torment. The portals remain open indefinitely but can be destroyed by Falnir. Each portal has 60 health points. They appear as blue oval shaped portals and appear opposing each other 10 meters apart from the user of the device.
(Tamashi Kesseki) – Soulstone (0x)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 500
Damage: N/A
Description: The Soulstone is a device retrieved from the Underworld itself, delivered to the Spider by Malthus, Disciple of the Twin Fates. It is nothing more than a fist-sized purple and grey pearl like object; yet within it is the power to Unweave fate itself and revive fallen champions within the realms of the dead. When activated it takes a significant toll on the user, requiring 500 chakra; but once activated it will prevent the souls of fallen humans from leaving their body while in Irkalla, in effect reviving them with 20% of their maximum health and chakra. In effect, the Soulstone prevents permanent death within Irkalla as long as one member of the party has it on their person. It can be used once per Irkallan landmark; this means that it can be used once in the Necropolis, Fields of Suffering, Gates, and Ganzir. Should there be no champions alive to use it, then the result is the permanent death of all biographies in Irkalla. The Soulstone can only be activated in an Irkalla landmark.
(Enriru no Uzushio) – Enlil’s Maelstrom (0x)
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 200
Damage: N/A
Description: A crystallized essence of storm itself recovered by Malthus, former servant of the Underworld. The essence is captured within a vial and within it is a prism of colors and lights that make it impossible to discern its true nature, likely caused by the high-ranking Divinity of the object itself. The Spider claims that it is, or was, a shard of Enlil’s own Divinity lost in the Underworld in the wake of his attack with his brother Marduk against Nergal. The essence serves to create a cyclone surrounding a single target, preventing the target from acting at all for a period of seven turns. At any time the Maelstrom can target up to two entities, be it Champions of Humanity or Servants of Irkalla. While it is not capable of encapsulating entities with high-ranking Divinity, like Phetra or any of her own champions, it can target others with lower-tier Divinities like Gallu spirits. Once used it cannot be used for another four turns.
