Mummy Jar

== What is a Mummy Jar? ==
A Mummy Jar is a jar the contains the 'soul' of a Mummy Lord. Functionally it is like a weaker form of a lich's phylactery. As long as the jar is maintained the Mummy Lord can reform from any damage. The Jar is incredibly important as not only will destroying it kill the Mummy Lord, but the Mummy Lord's death with remove the curse half of Mummy Rot from any victims, of which there are likely to be many after facing a Mummy Lord and their Mummies.
A Mummy Jar was purchased by the students of Ascension Academy in Abagua to help cure the Mummy Rot that several members of Crystal Thorn had contracted. Before they could leave the city with it however, the object was stolen by members of the 40 Thieves, who evaded the Inquisition and fled with the artifact into the desert.
The Jar was later returned to the students by the 40 Thieves as a show of good faith and exchange for the services they had done for the rebel band- helping to hide one of their members from the Inquisitors in their camp, the school offering medical aid to any sent to their camp, and Chipz saving the life of one of their members called Tick Tock in the black market. The Mummy Jar was promptly destroyed, freeing the afflicted of it's curse.
== Mummy Rot ==
Mummy Rot is a nasty combination, both a disease and a curse, that is inflicted on touch from a Mummy. The only way to cure the disease portion of Mummy Rot is with a rare herb called Mother's Leaf, which must be brewed into a tea. The curse is the harder effect to get rid of, as it requires either entering the mind of the affected to barter with the Mummy Lord who raised the Mummy that gave them the curse, or destroying that Mummy Lord's Mummy Jar to kill them.
The Curse makes it so that the victim is weakened and regains mana at a reduced rate, and it greatly increases the time it takes for their body to recover from physical injuries. Meanwhile the Disease spreads through the victim, slowly killing and petrifying their portions begin crumbling to dust. Jixie, despite being cured of the Curse, later lost her arm to the Disease.
== Trivia ==
* Shizu entered the mind of Jixie with a small group to attempt to drive the Curse from her mind, but an apparition of the Mummy Lord responsible dwelled inside. Eventually they agreed to an exchange: information on how curses like Mummy Rot worked in exchange for the Curse being passed on to Shizu.
