Abyssal Artifacts
- Void Focus (Artifact 3)
- Soulsteel (Accuracy +2)
- Commitment: 4 motes
No one knows if this is a corruption of the Shogunate equipment used by the forces of Lookshy, or a variant of the original models from the First Age. What is known, however, is the terrible power of this weapon. Usually crafted as an obsidian lens mounted on a gauntlet, variants have been seen on swords, suits of armor, and even the soulsteel and bone warstriders the Deathlords favor. While simple enough in concept, the sheer amount of destruction they can wreak is difficult to comprehend, until one sees the fine, grey ashes left behind, the only traces of it's victims, slain in un-natural quiet.
This artifact doubles the lethal damage done by Crypt Bolt, and increases again by half the number of motes drained by Essence Draining Blast (round down). It makes no noise when fired, and the ray seems to emit from the Void Focus. It requires no repair, and any victims slain leave no ghosts.
