PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer
: Ameli Trahir

Affiliation: Ameli Trahir
Model: Circlet of Mentalism
Modularity: The amethyst can be taken out of the circlet and instead put on a silver chain and worn as a necklace.
Production: Unique
Material: Silver and an amethyst


SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Dark Side Aura - The circlet, amethyst in particular, bears with it a distinct Dark Side aura. It is likely to corrupt those who wear it, if they have not already given themselves to the Dark Side.
  • Enhanced by Sith Alchemy, the circlet is sturdier than your average silver. It is also heavier than a non-alchemical counterpart would have been.
  • In short the circlet, channelled through the amethyst, acts as an all-around boost to abilities relating to mentalism. It helps one defend as well as attack. The powers flow more easily, and are quicker to call upon as well as being less taxing to use. The strength and ferocity of such abilities are increased.
STRENGTHS
  • Mentalism - The circlet’s whole deal is boosting its user in the arts of mentalism. It adds an extra sharpness to their attack as well as finesse in their mind shield. It gives the wearer’s mental attacks extra strength while also reducing the amount of energy required. Focus is still necessary though.
WEAKNESSES
  • Destructible - The ring is made of silver, and although reinforced by Sith Alchemy hardly indestructible. Concentrated Light Side energies focused in on the ring can be used to destroy it completely.
  • Force Nullification - When exposed to a Ysalamir field, close enough to Void stone, or in an area where the Force is otherwise inaccessible, this talisman will have no effect as it requires the Force to function.

DESCRIPTION
The Circlet of Mentalism is a product of Sith Alchemy, made by Ameli Trahir. It shows her growing in skill relating to alchemy, as well as expanding her comfort zone which previously has been only forging rings and working with one, simple material. It was made on Nar Shaddaa, as continued to establish her powerbase on the planet and get her claws sunk deeper into the world of crime.

This was the first time Ameli mixed together two different materials in her creation. She's grown accustomed to working with silver, however this was the first time it was forged into the shape of a circlet. Additionally, it was her first time working with an amethyst. Whether it was due to her lacking experience or the nature of the crystal, it took her a long time to force the crystal to bend to her purpose. Many nights was spent pouring herself and the Dark Side into the amethyst before she became satisfied with the result.

The end product gained the appearance of a beautiful silver tiara circlet made from silver plated wire woven into a flattering slight V shape across the forehead, with almost whimsical swirls on the side. Originally this was an error and deviation from her intended design, bending the wires too much when met with the Dark Sided energies. However she liked how it turned out, and kept it that way. A 15mm deep purple amethyst crystal adorns the center, which sparkles wonderfully in the light. The circlet is open at the back and designed to be worn on the forehead. It attaches at the back with ribbon to hold the circlet in place but one could also pin the circlet into place if preferred. The circlet is sturdy but flexible, lightweight and very comfortable to wear. It can be worn with any head circumference and can also be slightly adjusted if needed.

The circlet's powers first and foremost lay in mentalism, such as illusions and mind control. It gives a boost to the wearer, aiding both in offensive and defensive capacities. It is meant to aid its wearer in forming a stronger barrier to keep someone out of one's mind, as well as strengthening their attempts in penetrating the minds of their potential victims. The circlet seems to help when it comes to precognition as well, and if one spent time meditating on the amethyst one could tap into the power of farsight. The circlet also influences Force telepathy.

The circlet does not grant knowledge where there was none. It will not teach the uninitiated about mentalism. Instead it is meant to boost the wearer's existing powers within this field. How far the wearer can take this depends on their own potential and pre-existing knowledge on such abilities. It could for example help its user creating stronger illusions which felt more real, though if one is incapable of creating such illusions without the circlet, it will do them no good.

Ameli's strength has always been her connection to the Force, rather that her skills with a saber. Her natural connection to the Dark Side coupled with her dedication to manipulating the Force has also revealed an affinity for Sith Magic and she’s spent the last few years learning various spells and using said magic in battle to strengthen her prowess. She employs both mentalist illusions & sith magic to power her mind-bending. However, she is still an initiate in this field compared to the great masters and sorcerers of old. The creation of this circlet is but the next step in her expanding her knowledge on Sith Alchemy and mentalism.
