## Description

SCP-152 is a cube-shaped box called like that because of the translation when it was first found in Europe in Welsh. From a local translation guide it was found that the cube is called "Merlin's Box". From local folklore it has been found out that unlike in the more well known stories had a small boy with him in the shape of a cube. Research on the box has been done but the box part is still a mystery that with local tales couldn't be understood exactly

In later experiments it has been found out why the Cube was called a box as when it was taken by a d-class who had evil intention the box gave D-2791 anomalistic powers which seem to be magic with what other anomalies that are self proclaimed magicians, wizards, witches or any other sort of term to refer for someone who uses magic did call out how SCP-152 seems to call out specifically to them. SCP-152 seems to emit a cognitohazard towards any being that can use magic as it releases a sort of aura that makes any of these individuals be drawn to it while non-magic users are safe from it.

When a non-magic being grabs SCP-152 depending on their intentions these emotions will be amplified if one has evil intentions while grabbing the box it will take control over the individual and do the evil that the individual wanted to commit while when someone grabs it with good intention it won’t take over the individual in anyway with them being fully self aware. The ones taken control by SCP-152 have less cognitive function as they are incapable of speech and seem to be under the effect of madness.

SCP-152 fuses with the individual in most cases located at someone's heart and tries to keep the individual alive. It makes the now called SCP-152-A resilient, able to survive cases that would kill anyone like the damage of vital body parts by either continuing to attack and ignoring the damage or using spells to heal ownself.

SCP-152 has shown signs of glowing frequently which has been found out to be morse code. When decoded the words "I can see you found my toy. Use it wisely" with the way the message is written , especially with it saying "You found my toy" that the one who sent it was Merlin himself. No further messages have been gotten.
