The Mirror of Desire

A dark mirror that feeds upon the unfulfilled desires of mortals, granting wishes to its wielder.
== History ==
The origins of the mirror are unknown, but it fell into the possession of the Mareeh family, an elven noble family belonging to the Empire of Koruthar. The family used the dark powers of the mirror to climb the noble ladder of the empire, eventually becoming very rich and powerful, building an entire palace made of mirrors in its honor. However, the family eventually stopped feeding the mirror, and the artifact went dormant for some decades.
Eventually, the artifact was reawakened during the Plague of Shadows, trapping souls in an endless ball, which lead to the events of the Mirror Palace mini campaign. After the mirror was retrieved by a group of mercenaries, the mirror was sold in auction to the highest bidder, with the knowledge of the Ladian Empire.
== Abilities ==
Vessel of Desire. The mirror feeds upon the unfulfilled desires of creatures and stores them as Numen. Any desire or wish that goes unfulfilled, or becomes thereby impossible to meet, is able to grant power to mirror. The grander the desire, and the higher the fall, the more power is granted to the mirror.
Wish. Once enough Numen has been collected on the mirror, the wielder can use it to cast the Wish spell.
Sentient. The mirror is sentient, although it only the possesses an average level of intellect, the mirror will do its best to tempt creatures into feeding it, and into performing increasingly horrible tasks.
== Legendary Artifact ==
Although the Mirror of Desire can be easily broken, each piece of the mirror is still able to function independently, even if in a less powerful state, and will manipulate and influence all that gaze upon it, in order to reforge the mirror back together. The only way to permanently destroy the mirror is by starving it out of any unmeet desires, for 1000 or more years. At which point the mirror piece seizes to be magical and turns into a mundane piece of glass.
