Locket of Will Capture

By:

“It is just a locket for portraits of loved ones. It is quite old, but I will sell it to you for cheap. ”

Full Item Description
The Locket is usually a quite good looking piece. It is suitable for a gift and special token of affection.  It is of an average size and shape, so most painted minature portraits of the day will fit.

Like a number of items, this item can be any number of things.  The only caveat would be that the item would need a secret or not so secret compartment that is difficult to open. In the Locket’s case, there is a secret space behind one of the images.

Magic/Cursed Properties
The person given the locket will be inclined to wear it (a nature of the enchantment).  The person who wears the locket will, over the space of a few weeks or months, become calmer, happier, and more passive.  The Locket absorbs their will power, initiative, and drive (a tiny fraction of that energy empowers the spell in the locket). So eventually, the person become very passive, calm, and responsive to suggestions. At this point, they will be unable to resist mental spells and psionics.

The effects can be reversed, if you open the compartment holding the will power/ drive/ initiative of the target. The quickly will will return in the next day or three.

A little shorter than I like, but over all a nice little twist of an item. Especially should one of the players get a hold of one, say the dodgy one of the group and give it to the leader for persuasion perhaps.

I can see a number of ideas to stem from this but limited in that you need ot have knowledge of its uses in order ot use it to its potential.

Anyone who would have one of these objects would know how to utilize it. Weakening targets for personal gain is the mainstay of Evil Cult appeal. And if you take the item away, after it has sucked the soul, you can then command that person like a puppet.

Now, what if this enchantment has a bit spread... lockets sold to wealthy men with full knowledge of the effects, who give it to their wives to make them nicely obedient? No arguing, no problems in the family.

Mind magic can have the strangest effects...

I'm afraid I'll need a story to go with this, but I like its insidiousness!

What happens when the locket, after sucking the willpower from a victim, is given to another victim? Does it continue to suck? What if a locket, after sucking a number of victims, has it's hidden compartment opened? Do they all get their will back? What if they are dead, then what?

Very nice evil item. I like it.

hey im new to this site but was here years ago w/ another name. anyways dont remember so im newbie by default. Firstly, I am a sci-fi reader and I hope to meet success with my writing. My favorite series of books are Larry Nivens RINGWORLD tetralogy (Ringworld, RingWorld Engineers, The RingWorld Throne, and RingWorlds Children) For those that havnt read the ring world is the greatest artificial structere ever discovered. A ring, its circumference equal to earths orbit, it is built around a sol-like star. Shadow squares halfway betwwn the ring and the sun provide 15 hours of night in a thirty hour day. 70 days equals one falan (one full rotation of ring world. The inner surface-the one exposed to the sun, is terraformed and is one millionkmwide cntrifugal force provides gravity, and rim walls 1000km high keep the atmosphere in. Population of RNH(ringworld native hominids) estimated in the trillions. The origins of who built it and why are too sticky to get into. But the ringworld , millions of years ago, was populated bt A race called Pak Protectors. Protectors are ancestors of all homo sapiens. they populated ringworld with homo erectus, but left no predators in the ecology. hence, hominids evolved into every ecological niche. (Vampires, Carrion Eaters, Giant Herbivores, Small Carnivores, some built great technologies and went interstellar. Oh, and ringworld is 300 million times the surface area of earth. post if youre interested, Ill elabortae on native species and alien vistors
