The Watch

**The Watch** Is arguably the most important Item in Home Before Dark

## Background

The watch has been passed down from Generation to Generation in the Burgos Family, As of right now it's in the possesion of Sharon Alondra Burgos and was given to her by Johan Ramon Burgos from Valeria Ana Burgos after her death

The Watch was given to Sharon when she was 3 years old and she's kept it ever since

## The Watch Wars

Though It has been in Sharon's possession since she was 3, she's had to fight to keep it

In the events of Home Before dark there was a lot of fuss made for Carlos Jumblefield and Charles Baker to get ahold of it and though Sharon prevailed in the end it was a close fight

## Magical Abilities

This may seem like a lot of fuss over an ordinary watch but it's not just an ordinary watch, It's full of Magic

When activated the watch gives you powers

There are 2 ways to activate the watch

1- **A Long click of the button** on the watch

2- **overwhelming emotion**

When the holder of the watch's heart rate increases to an alarming rate or is overpowered by emotion the watch will take over and automatically transform the wearer.

the telltale sign to see if the wearer was transformed by emotion or by choice is the pupils,

pupil= by choice

no pupil= by emotion

When overwhelmed by emotion the holder may also regain consciousness while still in powered up form, they regain consciousness when their emotion is calmed down or the thing causing the heightened emotion is taken care of

### Powers

when You transform a staff materializes which helps control your magic ability, your magic ability has the power to do many things although it's still being explored

***The GlowBurn Cage***

The GlowBurn cage is made of a glowing substance almost like ropes, they come from the ground and encapsulate a person or thing.

The bars only leave marks on organic material that has made contact with it's surface ie: burns

Touching the bars leaves a burn that glows 2 minutes after contact with the bar

## Detransforming

When transformed the watch turns from a loose necklace into a choker, to detransform simply pull at the band around the watch until it's back to it's original loose necklace position

## Extras

### Durability

The Watch is very durable since it fixes itself, from scruff marks to big cracks the watch always keeps itself in tip-top shape

### Different clicks

Having a magical watch really is a bit of a burden especially when someone asks for the time and you by mistake change outfits right in front of their eyes,

there's a big distinction to be made about opening the watch and transforming, to transform you click the button and hold down until fully transformed, to open just click and let go quickly but just to be sure you don't mess up, please just tell people it's just for decoration and doesn't tell time

There is another third click of the watch to look out for, two clicks back to back get rid of those lingering burnropes, burn cages and ropes and whatever powers you cast while in power up will be turned to molecules at the double-click of a button

NOTE!: THOSE WHO'VE GOTTEN BURNS FROM THE MAGIC IN THIS WATCH WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY BE HEALED, THEY HEAL AS NORMAL BURNS AND SCARS DO

### Long Use of The Watch

As a person uses the watch more, the holder's outfit upgrades

^Sharon after first use

^Sharon after a year of use

Age can also affect the look of the holder's transformation.
