“Elemental” Expertise David takes out a book of Blavatsky’s teachings as well as some other occult research, and chants around a seemingly normal metal band bracelet. When he finishes, the plain metal band now has a small human outline shaped hole in it.

This Artifact grants you the power to tolerate pain and distractions.
Used by David Vance, Created by Metal.
(You must use this Artifact obviously when activating this Effect.)

When the band made by the above ritual is used, the band briefly flashes a translucent outline of its wielder’s body at peak condition (this is their “elemental”, the shell or outline of their soul), and the wielder is able to focus as if they themselves were at peak condition.

The band captures a person’s elemental, the shell of a person’s soul that is left behind in its movement, according to some of the occultist Helena Blavatsky’s teachings. By briefly redisplaying this shell over the user’s form, the user can synchronize their body with their soul at a healthier time.
