Black Star

The void seems hungry... Feed it.
== Appearance ==
The Black Star consists of a completely black, void-like sphere that does not emanate and absorbs all light that touches it. From within, eight glowing spikes float in and out of the sphere. These spikes may range in color according to the Star's hunger. From bright yellow, like the Helios FoF itself, to completely black, like the sphere itself.
== Ability ==
The artifact has the amazing capability to not only boost the user's power, but also replaces their Helios Flame with a variant known as Black Helios. Black Helios is a much more powerful version of Helios, capable of unleashing far greater destruction at the cost of a complete loss of any defensive capabilities. Black Helios, when near other instances of itself, will exponentially multiply automatically until the user's reserves are depleted, or the user ceases the supply of Flames. Thus, as the battle goes on, the user gets more and more powerful, at the cost of an extremely rapid depletion of their FoF reserves. Thus, it can be interpreted as exaggerated version of Helios Flames of Fate, possessing similar characteristics but much more volatility.
Though, that isn't all. Using the Black Star comes with a massive risk. Not only is it impossible to unbind --binding it will make it impossible to remove until death-- it is actually a semi-sentient artifact, which must be fed and nourished in order to keep providing the power up. As it gets hungry, the power up depletes, and the volatility and danger of the user's Black Helios increases. To feed it, the user must provide Flames of Fate on a regular basis, and the artifact will be satisfied. Should the user fail to feed it for too long, the Black Star will open its ███ and completely ██████ the user, leaving no trace behind. The artifact will then remain at the location, and binding it to yourself is as easy as simply touching it. Thus, most users, when incapable of feeding it, tend to travel far from populated city centers, as normal humans will not be able to feed it, making it ████████████████████.
== Origin ==
The Black Star is a corrupted version of a previous Helios artifact, afflicted by an alternate version of Akuma on accident. The demon meant to utilize it for a brief moment in order to locate a person of interest, but his demonic essence quickly corrupted the artifact and morphed its abilities. That timeline's Akuma was able to feed the Black Sun for a good while, until it eventually ███ him. Since then, the artifact has had numerous users, and has been transported across multiple timelines.
