Traits, Powers and Price
Traits:
Pulse of Decay: The artifact emits a faint pulse, destabilizing nearby structures, items, or even magical spells over time.
Mark of Desolation: Those who wield the Heart gain a dark aura, marking them as an agent of ruin, feared and shunned by many.
Entropy’s Whisper: The Heart allows the chosen Keik to hear faint, cryptic insights about what must be undone to maintain balance—or to shatter it.
Powers:
Unraveling Grasp: The keik wielder can break down any non-living material to its raw essence, rendering it into dust or nothingness.
Cataclysm’s Edge: Once per lunar cycle, the Heart unleashes a wave of destruction that disintegrates everything within a given radius, sparing only the wielder and those they protect.
Void Rend: Allows the keik wielder to tear temporary rifts in reality, destabilizing the environment or drawing enemies into a realm of pure entropy.
Price to Pay:
Corrosion of the Soul: Every use of the Heart’s greater powers consumes a fragment of the keik wielder’s soul, replacing it with a hollow, creeping void.
Fate’s Rejection: The Heart rejects any keik wielder who tries to use its powers selfishly or without purpose, causing the artifact to turn against them and unmake their essence.
Unintended Chaos: The artifact’s power often spirals out of control, leading to collateral damage, unforeseen ruin, or unintended consequences for allies and enemies alike.
