DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION
The Ossus Codex Keys are small Force reactive artifacts described in recovered Ossan records. Each key is built around a kyber core and wrapped in etched glass and songsteel to guide the flow of the Force through the lattice. When brought near a matching archive door / lock, holocron nexus, or temple seal, the key vibrates with a soft harmonic tone that can be felt more than heard. This resonance acts as a signature that the old archivists recognized as proof of authorization. They also glow and become warm to the touch when close to their intended 'lock'.

Cool submission! I love the picture of the key too. That being said there’s some concerns we need to address. When it comes to strengths I suggest you lighten the absolute language used. Tossing a “Nearly“ in front would suffice for me.

but its not electronic what so ever?
Edit: I could just remove it if it's confusing. I just figure most 'keys' in starwars setting are electronic keys.
