Void Century (900-800 years ago)

Talisman Relics are “cursed” objects created centuries ago which each contain the soul and body information of a member of the long extinct Oni Race and have been thought to be erased by history within the Scuffed Piece universe with them first making an appearance at the end of the Baroque works arc and entering the CogHaven Incident Arc.

## Overview

An unknown number of objects, most primarily weapons that contain the body data of Oni race members from the Void Century 900-800 years ago. The existence of these relics are mostly unknown with even old and well experienced pirates and marines being clueless to knowledge on them. Unknowingly some found relics have been deemed cursed swords and weapons due to the Oni inside trying to influence the holder to carry out the requirements for the sealed’s resurrection. Most Talisman Relics regardless of whether they are a weapon or not granted some kind of advantage or ability to the holder, such results in instantly making any holder a powerful force regardless of skill.

## Abilities

The Talisman Relics hold unknown power unique to each due to the Oni residing within, coming with all relics though are a common set of abilities. The relic is enhanced with supreme durability upon creation meaning the chance of breaking one is nigh impossible and for weapons their strength is incredible as even with inferior materials they can still stand up against the power of Supreme Grade Swords with a skilled user. As all relics contain the bodily information of the Oni, by connecting to the holder the power can be temporarily gained for bursts of might and enchantment to the body. This body melding can also be used for the sake of healing as if the Oni agrees they can use their information to fill and generate new flesh and body parts for an individual but most Oni demand compensation for this act as it is permanent as opposed to temporary like the enhancement. In cases as the body of the sealed is accessed, abilities from the latter can be utilized with permission with each differing from Oni to Oni.

Another ability held by all is the creation of a inner mind scape like sub-space within the relic that they are able to manipulate anything in any way they want with little to no limits at all: they can control space, reality, gravity, weather, and anything they can think by their will and desire. This space is where the Oni’s mind or soul resides and is only accessible by the holder of the relic, when in this space time functions differently from the real world as when accessing normally the holder will fall unconscious and time will move the same but in the case of life or death circumstances, similarly to when life flashes before one’s eyes, time will dilate and slow. Also within this inner world through agreements or contracts the Oni can access the memories or mind of the holder by pulling their body information from the brain into the relic instead of the opposite enhancement ability.

Finally the apex of Talisman Relic abilities, Resurrection. Through a ritual which requires the holder to kill 3 loved ones therefore dropping their soul into despair the Oni can resurrect their body by overlapping their information onto the holder’s body, this process would effectively kill the holder as the requirement is the latter’s soul falling into deep despair meaning resistance is futile and the probability of overpowering the Oni’s will in this state is 0,01%.

**Type: Jian(Sword) Sealed: Teitai Holder: Ryba D. Ben**

Double sided blade of dark blue with a lighter blue color of what looks like veins coursing through the blade, a sliver guard and ornate dark blue handle encased with a dark blue sheath with silver cloud designs covering. The first Talisman Relic revealed in the story which is wielded by Ben and used in most major fights, referred to as cursed sword due to lack of information. Shiver Stagnation’s inner world created by the Oni Teitai normally forms as a beautiful ice cave, due to the owner’s eccentric nature the ice aesthetic stays but the layout of the cave changes frequently based on the Teitai’s mood, examples being a concert,boxing ring,sports field,gym,etc. The unique ability emitted from Shiver Stagnation is unknown.
