SPECIAL FEATURES
- Agument Force Heal
- Force Calm (self)
- Comprehend Speech
- Accelerate Healing
- Force Calm Aura (Five Meters)
- The Five Treasures: Each gem of the amulet holds its own enchantment.
- Treasure of Healing: Force Healing was a treasured gift, and the first treasure grants a boost to such Force gifts. This makes the use of Force Healing more effective.
- Treasure of Steadiness: The Second gem is imbued with an enchantment that allows one to remain calm, and steady. It is essentially a strong calm effect.
- Treasure of Tongues: A Comprehend Speech effect allows the wearer to understand most any language, even garbled.
- Treasure of Health: An ill body cannot heal others. The fourth treasure accelerates natural healing, making injuries that would take a week for instance to talk half as long to recover.
- Treasure of Serenity: Within about five meters there is a weaker version of the Steadiness treasure. The wearer has an easier time calming these people and maintaining order, as they are subtly guided to remain calm.
- Null Fields: Ysalimir, and dampening fields like Voidstone, negate or weaken the abilities of the Amulet.
- Force Dead: Additionally Force Dead people cannot gain the benefits of this artifact.
- Pacifism: None of the effects can be used in a detrimental way to others. It has no offensive qualities.
- The Five Treasures: Each effect has limits, as follows:
- Healing: Does not affect non-lightside healing. Does not make it less draining to use extensively
- Steadiness: Extreme circumstance can negate the calming effect (adrenaline). Additionally the effect cannot be used if the wearer is stressed before putting it on, and must calm first to gain any benefit.
- Tongues: Cannot translate the complete nuance of languages, i.e. subtleties, only the general meaning. Cannot translate languages such as sand people, as the culture is too xenophobic. Does not translate animals, though it can generally translate animal-like speak (refer to first limitation) such as Wookies.
- Health: Cannot reattach limbs, or recover from severely altering injuries. Can only accelerate the body's healing reaction. Example: Take a bullet, recover faster but not instantly. Will still suffer any normal consequences as a result of the injury.
- Serenity: The effect is not absolute and carries much of the same limitations as Steadiness. The only real difference is it requires more effort and effective leading to overcome while Steadiness requires more willpower of an individual.
The Anam's greatest treasure, was this sacred amulet. The five aspects of healing, the five Treasures. Each gem was once, originally, a separate piece from the others, granting their wearer great ability. In the wake of their migration however, the Anam chose to combine all five into one sacred amulet, which would be in the possession of the High Priest, who would attend to their dragon gods directly. These five treasures would be instrumental to a Healer, and the hope was to allow the High Priest to attend to their ailing gods.
The treasure of Healing gave to the Priest the ability to try and mend the wounds and ills of the Gods, though it could not mend the mind. The treasure of Steadiness let the Priest stay true to their task, steady and resolute, until at last the end had come. The treasure of Tongues let the Priest talk soothing words to their Gods, to try and keep them company until they had been put to a long sleep. The treasure of Health let the Priest work themselves sick, and ill, and yet be able to tend to their duties. And the treasure of Serenity let them calm those who stood behind them, as the end drew close.
Ultimately it would become sealed in the depths of their temple, a monument to their failure.
