[Harry Dresden]

Blackened Denarius: A malevolent presence hides within this half-burned silver denarius; the Fallen Angel Lasciel. Simply touching the coin creates an imprint of the fallen angel within the user's head, while holding it allows the wielder to strike a deal with the Temptress, gaining power in exchange for a gradual loss of control. For 1 SP a post, the coin's holder can gain +3 to ATK and TEC, tapping into both Hellfire and the angel's millennia of experience. Every time the artifact is activated, however, the wielder rolls a 20-sided die. On a roll of 18-20, their consciousness is subsumed temporarily by the Fallen Angel, a condition that used to last forever but now only lasts a day or two at most due to Omni's interference. The power-up is constantly active for this time... but Lasciel is the one using it. The possessed will come to at the end of the possession with no recollection of what happened, and Lasciel will not be inclined to tell them.

Even upon death, the marks left by this artifact remain. Unless removed by an unknown trial, the imprint of the Fallen will persist in the mind of its former wielder, trying to press them into taking up the coin once more, no matter who stands in their way.




Just something shiny from the Dresdenverse. Probably not what Harry would make; he's quite glad to be quit of Lasciel.
