Lestrik Artifacts

## Fusion Artifacts

The Lestrik Artifacts are magic items that are linked to one another, and they were used by the Heralds of Retha to defeat Oblivion during the Retha mass murder.

## Appearance

The artifacts are 2 small gray metal balls with circuit-like engravings on them. Both can be held on one hand.

In their new "Fusion" appearance, one of the sphere's circuits glow blue, and the others glows red, symbolizing Oblivion's former power.

## Brief History

Not much is known about the artifact's origins, but there is a small amount of information. An unknown individual by the name of Lester was searching for the artifacts during the 11th dusk, as evident in Lester's notes found by the Heralds. No one as of yet knows why he was looking for them. He left several pages of his journal in the different locations of the artifacts. Both of them were in different parts of Retha.

After Oblivion merged with Sindren, all hope seemed lost. The Heralds were unsure of what to do, so they looked for Venorane's council. The Vikkin told the told them of a pair of artifacts that could win them the fight against Oblidrien, and consequentially Oblivion. The team would soon learn that they could be found in the Dark mountains in the west, and in the Ather, the spirit realm. They would venture off into the dark mountains, and then the lair hidden inside. After going through the dead dungeon they would fight Vice Theranit and Master Anrun, both of which had fragments of 1 artifact.

After this, they discovered that they needed Ethereal Oil to enter and exit the Ather, but they only had enough to get in. So they were told that they could maybe find some more of it in the Crest-Desert palace. After meeting a new ally and vanquishing the Mummy Lord Cube, they set out to look for the ruins in which they could go into the Ather. The three members of the team that went into the Ather would find the 2nd artifact, only to have another obstacle in their quest, Rednith. After a long argument and battle, they would rise victorious.

All the Heralds would confront Oblidrien, and take away Oblivion's power of merging which would unfuse him and Sindren. The Lestrik Artifacts would then turn the tides of the battle even more by allowing two of the heroes to mix together. This would be Oblivion's defeat and a useful tool for future fights.

## Functions

The Lestrik artifacts had the power to take one's abilities permanently and give them to the wielder of the artifacts. Once they have taken the ability, they glow the colors of the person the ability came from.

* **Ability Removal(Formerly)-** For example, if someone had the Lestrik Artifacts, and their opponent could teleport, the user would be able to steal the enemy's teleporting power. This would render the enemy devoid of that power, permanently.
	+ **Ability Absorbtion(Formerly)-** After stealing the enemies power, the power remains in the Artifacts. This allows anyone holding them to be able to access it, and use it the same way that the power's original user did.
* **Fusion-** After being used by the Heralds to steal Oblivion's merging ability, the Lestrik Artifacts can no longer steal and absorb power, but rather can let the wielders fuse the same way Oblivion did. If each is held by separate person, the two individuals can fuse into one person, adding and multiplying their abilities.

## Trivia

* Lester, and by extension, the Lestrik Artifacts, were named after a character of the same name that Patrick created in 7th grade for one of Kiko's planned video games.
