Edith's Spirit My own story begins to take shape.

Requires Novice
This Artifact grants you protection against attacks.
Used by Edith O'Hare, Created by Contracted_Pyre.
On Legendary Artifact Armor of The Flaming Stag.

Your body becomes wreathed in protective flames whenever something tries to attack the wearer, softening the blow and cauterizing sufficiently severe wounds.

This armor used to be the mask Edith made for her hunting garb, but thanks to her adventures and dedication to her Goddess, it transformed. The armor itself is actually alive, in a way. Loyal to its owner and thirsting for adventure. When Edith dies, it will find its way into the hands of another contractor, just to help grow its legend. It has also inherited Edith's distaste for the christian church, and makes it known with the help of its owner.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

You have 4 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack.

Your Armor cannot be destroyed, and it always provides a minimum of 2 Armor regardless of any Armor shredding or penetration. It cannot be circumvented with Called Shots. When shredded, it returns to full potency in one hour.

Any Injury received from Damage that was reduced by this Armor is considered Makeshift Stabilized and will not degrade further, and any Battle Scar caused by them is reduced by 1 level. You may attempt a single Proper Stabilization on such Injuries.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: If you encounter a symbol of christianity, roll self control to not immedietly and loudly denounce it. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

  • This Effect’s Armor rating cannot be increased by any other Effects.

Even death, after a while, becomes something cliche in the eyes of those exposed to it enough.

That is why the realization of life being brought back through a reversal of time is so interesting. How is it possible? What strings are pulled to accomplish this? *Who* pulls the strings?

He brews on the questions for a little while in the shadows of his room. Tomorrow again, will the spotlight be shined on him.

For now, he waits.
