"A body is a sacred thing, crafted by the gods uniquely for a soul to inhabit to best accomplish their sacred mission of self improvement and actualization. Once someone has failed in this goal, whether through great iniquity or great slothfulness, they can never again receive another body." -Michael Demas
This soft aquamarine-blue gem seems to shimmer inside the perfectly round and flawless glass-like exterior. It was given to you by your brother so you could aid him in his penance of redeeming 100 damned souls by helping them understand the value of mortal life and mortal vessels. Within is contained a small amount of liquid from the pool of cleansing- which allows the wielder to imbue the spirit-souls of the damned into inanimate objects.
The stone is in its rare form. While in its rare form, the wielder can animate any minor object such as a cape, cloak, sword, torch, etc to gain special effects in accordance with the item. (keep track of them on the back of this sheet as you learn of them) Additionally, the wielder can animate creatures such as a golem, animated armor, flying sword, etc of CR equal to or less than one third the number of redeemed souls (rounded down).
In order to progress the artifact, the wielder must assist the patron of animation in redeeming souls by teaching the damned a virtue. For example, a murderer must be taught the value of life and the obligation to protect rather than harm those weaker than them. Accomplishing a significant feat relevant to the virtue such as deflecting a killing blow with an animated shield, rallying an army with an animated horn, lighting a dangerous path with a lantern, or comforting a distraught child with a stalwart toy will redeem the soul. To progress to very rare, the wielder must redeem 25 souls.
