Many ages ago, these manacles were used in a ritual to bind a powerful monster known as 'Aginos'.

Acting like a seed for a mundane crystal, the user holds an item significantly associated with their knowledge and experiences to themselves as they crystallize related ideas into physical form. These crystals visibly coalesce around the user while this is taking effect. While the possible candidates for a "principal memory" to serve as a seed are as varied as the experiences of the user, mementos of previous or current Contracts produce results much more readily.
While this does not impact any normal functionality of this "principal memory", any item used in such a way will appear slightly vitrified and translucent, and reflect light somewhat readily: this continues after all of the "vitrified memories" lose coherence from proximity or destruction. This appears to bring them to the level of a Contract-associated "principal memory".
Inspecting an individual "vitrified memory" from the cloud shows a reflection of some facet of the concept, often the user's personal memories of such. Appearing like anomalously-floating crystal glass from a distance, the varied reflections betray their status as solidified ideas with durability to match.
This application cannot subdivide beyond a single diffuse cloud, though can be shaped into rough forms while diffuse and temporarily fused into a solid glass object. When not explicitly structured, these tend to stay either generally diffuse or in an approximation of their contents: a "principal memory" associated with gardening would tend to floral motifs, for example. Those motifs are - more often than not - reflected in the form they would take when condensed to a single solid form.
Sufficient disruption of physical integrity or a lack of anchoring cognizance in proximity breaks the physical forms apart, returning them to pure memories that lack the spark to be given physical form for a while.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy.
