Babadook or Prison Altar if you prefer
Is a well-crafted finely detailed Altar Token. Created during the age of legends by guardians of White Wizards (Aes Sedai) from before the taint of the One Power by Shai Tan. Each one a Powerful Artifact in its own right, they can be magically reinforced by the Wizard's Power often through very dangerous simple spells and incantations wherein the spell caster must wrestle against the Wisdom, Intelligence, and Powers of the condemned soul or occupant(s). A few more dangerous examples are rumored to exist in the hands of ancient Aes Sedai or misguided Cabals seeking to release the Souls from inside in exchange for great rewards or utter destruction of a perceived "sick world".
The Babadook usually holds captive powerful entities such as Powerful Ancient Male Aes Sedai (from after the tainting of the One Power), Denon Princes and Lords, Powerful Devils, Vile and Corrupt Individuals or rogue and out of control powers beyond death. Seeking to corrupt others and release, the entities sealed inside can sometimes effect people and objects up to 3D100' away as poltergeists, and must be dealt with accordingly.
To the unwise or uninitiated, defeating a Babadook often ends in Horror; Destruction; and Death, along with the release of something into the World often requiring one or more exorcisms and Spiritual or psychic cleansing of temporary habitats or dwellings corrupted or dangerous afterward.
Notes: Damage: Psychic, Incapacitated, Hereditary ownership by a guardian or keeper required, lest the Demonic Soul inside breaks free.
