Elysian, Mirror of the Dead is a magical mirror Artifact of Ordial origins, though one would never be able to tell, as the mirror appears merely like a slab of Zinc with one side polished to such an extent it forms a reflective surface, lacking any black and green colorations. The Artifact has Isldar origins, once being heralded as a piece of mental solace over the loss of loved ones, but later discovered to be an immensely powerful magical Artifact that amplifies the casting abilities of its owner.

Origins

Where Elysian exactly comes from is not known, however it was first mentioned by Isldar migrants as early as 100 AC, as a mirror adorning the central monolith in one of the Shiva Cavern temples. Supposedly, the mirror was the focus point of a pilgrimage site where the faithful could lay their eyes on their loved ones who had gone before, as the mirror would always reflect the dead back at them, never their own reflection. The Mirror however was taken during the Isldar civil war recently, when it was discovered that the mirror held extreme Magical power, and could potentially change the course of the war. It never did however, as one of the Arken took it from its owner, when it eventually disappeared from the public eye.

Appearance

Elysian is a normal-sized mirror, consisting of a two inch thick solid slab of Zinc, the back of which is rough and textured, and the front of which is sanded down and polished to form a reflective surface. The Elysian always prevents touching other surfaces, it always floats gently around or next to the wielder, but can also be summoned and unsummoned from their wrist, when the mirror shrinks and forms a reflective bracer on their arm. Should the Artifact be used however, it immediately ejects from their arm and levitates around them to dispense its Ordial Magic.

Artifact Custom Kit

Elysian is an Ordial Artifact. As Elysian is an artifact, there are several rules associated with Artifact Ownership, see Artifacts Page. Elysian also provides the following Specials:

• Elysian Lifedrain: Elysian's wielder may manifest Undead/Ordial/Glacial/Ice/Mirror aesthetics and Mutations while owning the Artifact. Additionally, the user can curse a person in Emote Range with a very visually telegraphed Curse to make them appear as if they are Undead. They do not actually become Undead, but are visually recognized as one, until they can be Cleansed or Exorcised with some Ability or Mechanic.
• Elysian Herald: Elysian's wielder is considered the owner of a powerful and important Ordial artifact, particularly that of the Glacial. The user of Elysian is positively received by the Bene Rexit Isldar, and while hated by the Bene Vixit, is immune to their attempt of sabotage and attacks while in Ellador on Progressions. Elysian also allows them to style any Ability with Ice or Death aesthetics.
• Elysian Frosthome: Elysian's wielder is able to summon the Shade of a dead Player Character and force them to haunt a Target person. This Shade does not have any memories, but will still act within their personality and relationships, while also being malign and tormenting or acting like a poltergeist to their Target. This Shade cannot be attacked, and can only be dispelled by Life Isldar cleansing them.
