Intent: To create an Alkahest amulet for [member="Coryth Elaris"] which will help enhance her healing abilities. Like other items made by Phylis, this is a Light Side version of Sith Alchemy items, and helps the bearer enhance one particular skill.
Development Thread: Yes. Amulet made by Coryth and Phylis.
Manufacturer: Phylis Alince
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Personal for Coryth Elaris
Modularity: No, though the chain can be swapped.
Production: Production: Unique
Material: Alkahest Silver – As resistant as alchemised metal. Alkahest Sapphire setting.
Description:
As her understanding of Alkahest grew, Phylis Alince offered to make items for her friends and associates. She had made a ring for Kaida and an amulet for Galina, and now settled her attention on Jedi Master Coryth Elaris. Coryth was something of a healing prodigy amongst the Jedi, and so something to assist her with that was likely to be very useful.
And so, when she came to Tygara after leaving the Jedi Order, Phylis worked with Coryth to make an amulet infused with the Light Side. The construction of this item followed the standard pattern for Alkahest construction.
- Metal of choice put in the furnace.
- Blood taken from buyer, a small amount.
- Molten metal poured into mould along with the blood.
- Phylis uses the Force to bind the blood, metal and Light to almost alchemise the metal.
- Amulet is cooled and removed from mould, touched up and polished.
- Desired Light Side Force energy channelled into amulet.
- Phylis completes the Alkahest and makes the item unbreakable.
- Buyer attunes with the amulet to bind it to them.
The only difference to that template is that this time Coryth assisted with the steps as she was a powerful Light master.
The result is an item which allows Coryth to focus her healing energies easier. Needless to say this does not mean she can regenerate limbs or heal fatal wounds, but it gives a proportional boost to her talents. Furthermore it allows her to use the Force to calm her patients and ease their pain to allow her to work easier.
This item is utterly unsuitable for combat uses. It requires almost all of Coryth’s concentration to channel the power through the amulet. Thus, attempting to use it in combat would be a singularly unwise move.
Furthermore, calling on the powers of this amulet is extremely taxing. Since healing usually makes Coryth quite weak – and even collapse at times from the exertion – she must be careful how much she uses this item. Using this item at full concentration for healing for more than a few minutes at a time risks exhausting herself to the point of collapse.
As with all Alchemy or Alkahest items the metal has been infused with the Light, making it unbreakable by conventional means. A strong Dark Side Master might be able to disenchant the item if they were able to get it in their possession.
As usual, it also produces a strong Light Side aura which is difficult to conceal. It can also only be used by Phylis or Coryth. Others trying to use it will be unable to as it is attuned to them alone. A Dark Side adept holding or touching the amulet will suffer mild feedback and burns from the Light aura.
As an item, this is a fairly standard Alkahest creation. It assists in one key area, but not massively so. Overuse of the item can lead to exhaustion, even collapse.
