Luxaus

The
Mythical Helm of Light, the first of its kind discovered by the Imperian
Confederacy, which granted its user immense control over the element of light.

## **History**

The
helm is thought to have been created by the same group of Magnificentus who
made Kravarius, intended to be the counterpart should the power of Kravarius
ever need to be challenged. The helm was implanted deep within the Imperian homeworld,
and was discovered shortly after the people of Magnus Impera became spacefaring
when a teleportation experiment went wrong due to contact with the mask. Kilaro
Maltemus took the helm along with his fellow Kilaro and examined it in great
detail, compiling a list of every known capability of its powers.

Scraps
from Magnificentus plans recovered over the millennia indicates the Magnificentus
had intended the helm to be worn by a prophesied herald who was to be named
Icent-however, as no such Makori existed within the census records of the Imperian
Confederacy, many believed this to be a hoax. Due to the
better methods available to the Imperian Confederacy, this helm was reproduced
much more easily than Kravarius and weaker versions of this helm were
redistributed as a token of achievement to Erthus who went above and beyond the
call of duty.

For
many millennia, the Helm remained stored within the Primis Vault, but
when Tyranis began his conquest of the Toa Confederacy, the Kilaro
and Erthus Primis decided
the only masks which could defeat him were a combination of the Luxaus to
cancel out his shadow powers, followed by Vitacis in order to put an end
to Tyranis' strength. The Luxaus was used by Ignithitus successfully,
and he managed to defeat Tyranis. The Luxaus was weakened in the process, hardening
to a silver coloration, although it has since returned back its purer form.

It
remains in storage in the Primis Vault, in case it need be used again. Replicas
of the mask are more widespread, and at least one other variant has been categorized
by experiments with the interdimensional travel.

## **Powers**

The
Luxaus, like its sibling mask, held a total domination over the element of
light. Pure bolts of light could be fired from the mask which glowed intensely,
and would engulf in light and flames whatever they touched. Wearers of the helm
reported feeling at ease when using it, almost as if the helm itself were
guiding them. It is thought that the helm can exercise some form of mental
effect over other beings by making them more agreeable and peaceful.

## **Forms**

The
Luxaus came in four known forms:

* Sparkling: The Sparkling form of the mask glowed with an incandescent light and reflected light like a prism. It was also speckled with light energy on its surface, hinting at its elemental strength. This form was the one containing the most raw light energy

* Devolved: This was the form taken by the mask following its use by Ignithitus to cancel out Tyranis' Kravarius and defeat him. The outburst of energy by the mask required a recharge and it remained in this state for some time before returning to normal. Although not as powerful as the Sparkling form, it was more powerful than a replica

* Replica: This version of the mask was produced in moderate numbers for leaders of Erthus teams which had proved themselves worthy. It was made such that it was a pearl gold in coloration, although leaders could and most often did request it come in dark gold instead. This version of the mask was equal to an Overcharged mask in strength, although some Erthus did master their masks to eventually become equal to legendary masks. It was common for these masks to be passed down hereditary lines, and thus the mask would grow in power over the generations

* Alternate: This version of the mask was categorized by Kralich when he met his counterpart from the Darkest Dimension.Although Kralich (Darkest Dimension) is thought to have lost the mask, speculation has arisen that the mask may have found an escape, as it could not be found afterwards
