Modified Scroll

A modified scroll or *Crystal Scroll* is an object that functions as a collapsible, holographic tablet. It is capable, among other things, to function as a phone, a portable computer, a camera and a streaming device as well as a gaming controller.

During combat it is able to gauge a user's Aura and depict it as a life bar, along with those of the user's teammates.

## **Description**

The Crystal Scroll is clearly the moost advanced handhelf devices as it is a modified version of the normal scroll. Visibly, they are nothing more than a translucent, touch-sensitive panel between two solid end grips; the interlocking design of these grips allows the unit to be collapsible, much like a scroll of paper, hence the name.

Each Crystal Scroll has a purple, diamond-shaped button in its center when the device is in its closed state. The user presses this button to unlock the two grips and deploy the screen. This button also flashes when the Scroll gives an audible alert, such as when a new message has been received.

Similar to the scrolls, it appears to come in two different sizes. Small Crystal Scrolls can deploy to be approximately the size of a smartphone, while large Crystal Scrolls can deploy to be the size of a medium-sized tablet. It appears that the size of a Scroll's screen is adjustable by how far apart the user pulls the grips. Scrolls can be opened horizontally or vertically.

They only come in black color but they can be personalized later. These versions of the scroll are able to connect with the DCCTS.
