Artifact Ideas

[Admin]

Do you have an idea for a powered artifact? List it here if you'd like to see it potentially get used. Put down the artifact's name (or as close to a name as it has) and what it can do, and anything else, such as where it's located. If there's a problem with it, expect the staff (at the moment just me) to give input on how to fix it and make it work better in the environment of Division 42.

Just thought to send some ideas of artifacts that could be used and such. If you don't want to, that's fine, my feelings won't be hurt. Just some ideas.

Cape of Invisibility - Causes the wearer to turn invisible to the naked eye.
Gauntlet of Power - Causes the wearer to be able to lift objects far away.
Ring of Fire - Gives the power to give off fire from any part of the wearer's body
The Tome of Zeus - When one reads the words in the tome, depending on the section, various lightning attacks form against a target
Hermes's Shoes - Let's the user run at the speed of light when the shoes are worn.
Abenaki's Staff - If one sleeps while in contact with the staff, they can rise from their body and go anywhere as if they were in their body, but they are unable to get hurt. The Native American Legend of Abenaki is where this staff comes from, Abenaki creating the universe and then dreaming of the universe he created.
Yi Bow - If an arrow is short from the bow, it will never stop until it comes in contact with something, and then whatever it hits ceases to exist. The arrow could reach the sun, the moon, anywhere as long as something does not get in the way. Originally found in an excavation in China, the bow is said to be the bow of Houyi who shot the extra suns in the sky to make Earth habitable for humans.
Excalibur - Said to once belong to King Arthur, the Excalibur is able to conjure the mightiest of winds, allowing the user to control the winds anyway they wish.
Melusine's Necklace - Allows the user to breathe underwater, but only underwater while wearing the necklace, and the wearer has a long mermaid-like tail. It was once the necklace of Melusine, a supposed fairy (though truly just a young maiden), who lived in the castle of Lusignan and always wished to swim in the sea. She was given the necklace from her father, who had gotten it in town. Earlier origins of this artifact are unknown.
Tiyanak's Mask - When placed on one's face, the user can change their appearance at will to anything. However, the side affect of this artifact is that it slowly makes the user go crazy and eventually will drain all humanity from the user and make them only want blood.
The Black Arrow - Said to once belong to Robin Hood, this arrow is said to never miss its target, even if the target is on the other side of the Earth.
Peter Pan's Hat - This is an artifact that keeps the wearing from aging as long as the green hat is worn. Their whole body is in suspended animation, but the wearer can still move. Their heart is stopped, and do not need to breathe, all growing ceases, but once taken off, the user begins aging once more, their heart starting as if it never stopped and everything returns to how it was before wearing the hat.
The Controller Ring - This ring has the power to control people and their thoughts.  However, resistance is possible, and the farther the ring from the one controlled, the weaker the control is. 

That's all I've got so far!

I like these very much. I'll be contributing when I have time and add to the list.

Artifact Name: The Coin of Solomon
What does it look like? A coin
What can it do? Has the ability to regenerate wounds of any variety, including regrowing lost limbs and fixing any severe birth defects.

Artifact Name: Ulfberht
What does it look like? It has the name "Ulfberht" written on the blade
What can it do? Infuses whoever holds it with the strength and viciousness of a Viking Beserker of old, turning them into a vicious bloodlusting person.


Artifact Name: Presumed alien coin
What does it look like? A coin with an indecipherable language on the back
What can it do? Nothing, it's just a coin


Artifact Name: Thirdeye
What does it look like? A glowing blue chemical in a bulb-like container
What can it do? A narcotic developed by a crime family/dark magic cult, ingesting it forces open one's "third eye", allowing them to perceive the physical and spiritual planes of existence at the same time. It is addictive, and extensive use will eventually cause insanity.

[Sarah Markowtiz]

The Dagger of Brutus: The very same weapon that Marcus Junius Brutus used to kill Julius Caesar in 44 BC. Any cut or wound will cause excruciating agony to the victim as they bleed out regardless of medical care.

The Crown of Ravana: This crown was worn by the nine-headed demon Ravana who in legend was said to have been slain by the hero Rama. Ravana's crown bestows the wearer incredible power, including the ability to charm and manipulate others. The price of course is that any who wears it is consumed by their wants and their desires, forcing them to conquer and obtain more wealth and glory for themselves.

Time Eyes: Onyx-colored orbs that allows the user to see into the void of time and space, from past events to the myriad of possible futures. Such artifacts need to be handled with caution, as prolonged use of these orbs will drive the user insane due to peering into the timestream.

[Noa Clarke]

All of those are fantastic. I have only one to contribute myself:

Gold Eye: A golden eyeball that requires the owner to remove their own eye to place this in the empty socket. As long as they look at the target with the Gold Eye, they have 100% accuracy on that target.

Got another:
The Wedding Vase - The Wedding Vase is a vase that if drank from, the drinker will fall in love with the last person to have drank from the vase.  So if one drinks, then another, the second will fall in love with the first, but not vice-versa.  Any liquid can be used and still have the same effects. 

[Noa Clarke]

Fantastic.

Skeleton Key - This key has the ability to open any door in the world, and will form to the lock, no matter what it is. The only lock it won't open is a combination lock.

[Natalie Gray]

Nevermore: An immortal raven that can speak all languages. Anyone the raven owns (his caretaker) has this understanding passed into them. Nevermore inspired Poe's The Raven.

[Olivia Parkinson]

Ishtar's Earrings- A pair of ornate earrings. Any woman who wears them can make any man fall madly in love with her. and becomes a great fighter. However, this can lead to the woman killing the man affected. Usually quite brutally.
Peitho's Ring- A simple gold ring inscribed with the Greek word for love. Allows any who wear it, male or female, to become sexually irresistible to any member of the opposite sex. If worn too long, the effect stays, even if the ring is off, and can lead to the wearer being raped and possibly torn apart by rabid lovers.

Moar ideas.
Dimension Key- A small key-like object. When paired with the Dimension Gun, allows the user to transport anyone shot by the Gun into and out of a parallel universe of the user's making, and that the user controls fully. Can also be used alone to transport someone into this parallel world, but not out. Can interface with other alien technologies for varying results.
Dimension Gun- A gun, about the size of a handgun. When used alone, functions like a normal energy blaster. When paired with the Dimension Key, can transport anyone shot in and out of a parallel universe of the user's making.

Couple more ideas

Devil Reef samples-Samples taken from the infamous Devil Reef just off the coast of Innsmouth. Anyone exposed to these samples slowly mutates into an aquatic humanoid lifeform and becomes indoctrinated to praise a being called "Dagon".

Memoirs of John Carter-Papers explicitly detailing the aformentioned Mr Carter's experiences on the planet Mars.

Alien medallion-Earliest known evidence of extraterrestrial life. Found in a cave in Arizona along with the catatonic John Carter. According to the memoirs, the medallion is supposed to assist in travel between worlds.

Spear of Destiny-Held by the European branch of D42. The last time this spear was wielded by anyone, World War 2 was set in motion.

[Olivia Parkinson]

MOAR!
Doppelgänger Mirror- A handheld mirror with an ancient Latin inscription on the back, reading, "Gemina". Speaking the word while looking into the mirror allows one to create a clone of oneself that can be controlled mentally. However, the clone will eventually gain self-awareness, and take it's creator prisoner to take their place. The clone cannot kill its creator, however, as that would result in the clone's own death.
Lotus- A white flower harvested from a remote Greek island. Anyone who takes a sniff will send their mind into a dream world paradise, while their body is in a magically induced coma. However, this dream world soon corrupts, and forces the person to experience their worst fears over and over again. If saved soon enough, this results in minor psychological damage, but if left in it too long, it can result in a complete psychotic break or death.
Alfred Hitchcock's Dream Journal- A journal kept by horror movie great Alfred Hitchcock. If anyone were to read it, they would release a monster worthy of a horror movie to terrorize whatever building they happen to be in at the moment. Past instances have released things like mummies, vampires, giant spiders, etc. However, no one ever seems to die in these instances.

[Tristan Gallant]

The Oracle of Delphi-Recovered from a Greek temple. This tome is purported to contain the future as well as the past. If one reads far back enough into the past, the language of the text reverts to languages not spoken for many centuries. If one was to read forward and seek knowledge of the future, they would find it written in languages that won't be spoken for many centuries.

Heart Stone-There are multiples of this artifact. The stones can act as a "substitute" for human sacrifices during demonic rituals.

Elixir of Death-If there is such a thing as the Elixir of Life, this is the exact opposite. It can be used in creating undead. Ingestion is, of course, fatal.
