Squad Artifacts

The Squad Artifacts are five inert artifacts that once belonged to the founders of the different Ascension Academy Squads. The artifacts were introduced during the Combative Arts class lead by Professor Albrecht late into the second year. Each of the artifacts were the final reward for the squads runs through a series of defensive formation drills, with the final being to defend the artifact from an enemy assault. Having proven their capabilities, each squad has been given guardianship over their artifact within their dorms- more as a symbol of their growth than anything given they are all inert.
== The Artifacts ==
=== Sword of Ignis ===
The Sword of Ignis is a blade, roughly longsword length, with a red spine down the center. The blade used to be enchanted such that it never dulls. Swords are often seen as a symbol of officers, fitting with Ignis' themes.
=== Axe of Vanguard ===
The Axe of Vanguard is a brutal looking one-handed axe with a purple hilt wrapping. The more enemies it kills, the stronger it becomes, but it saps the intelligence of the wielder. Axes are an offensive weapon, making it an obvious choice for Vanguard.
=== Tiara of Crystal Thorn ===
The Tiara of Crystal Thorn is a silver looking tiara that when worn used to give the wearer a commanding presence. It suits Crystal Thorn as the diplomatic squad.
=== Lantern of Ardent Veil ===
The Lantern of Ardent Veil is a small, green, roughly egg shaped lantern. The lantern used to accelerate the growth of plant life around it. Ardent Veil's association with greenery and support is reflected by this artifact.
=== Shield of Galant ===
The Shield of Galant is a white and gold tinted tower shield. The shield used to have a spell reflect effect. Galant's role as protectors matches the shield perfectly.
