Crucible of Fear
Type: MAGICCurator: John White
Description
The Crucible of Fear is the name given to an ancient magical artifact created long and long ago, before the Fretheod Empire even existed. It is capable of drawing out all of the fears in a mind and distilling them into a coin that, when touched, releases those fears into the person who did the touching. However, there is a limitation to the "volume" of fear the crucible can absorb, so it is not recommended that anyone over 14 or so be subjected to it. The artifact is indestructable by normal means thanks to the methods of its construction, and immovable due to the requirement that it be anchored deep into the bones of the earth to function.
