D U M B
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Force Communion: Each amulet is alchemically keyed to the others forged in the same cycle. When worn, they allow apprentices to sense one another through the Force. This connection does not transmit thoughts or commands, but it does convey presence, proximity, emotional pressure, and distress. Apprentices learn quickly that secrecy from one another is possible, but isolation is not.
- Master Anchor: The amulets are bound to Darth Prazutis through a deeper alchemical link. He is able to sense his apprentices through them regardless of distance, provided they remain within realspace. The connection is asymmetrical. The apprentices feel his presence only as weight, pressure, or attention, never as clarity. The bond reinforces hierarchy rather than comfort.
- Alchemical Barrier: When worn, the amulet maintains a dormant Force barrier woven into the crystal lattice. Under threat, the barrier activates reflexively, forming a close defensive sheath around the wearer. It is not a shield meant for prolonged combat. It is designed to turn lethal blows aside once, sometimes twice, buying survival rather than victory. Each activation stresses the crystal and leaves visible marks within it, reminding the apprentice that protection is finite.
- Force of Habit: Creates a constant Force link between apprentices, allowing awareness and coordination without speech.
- Under His Thumb: Maintains a direct Force connection to Darth Prazutis, reinforcing authority and oversight at all times.
- Hard to Break: Generates an automatic alchemized Force barrier that activates under threat to preserve the wearer.
- All Tied Up: The shared Force link makes strong emotional disruption in one apprentice ripple through the others.
- Eyes on You: The master bond limits privacy, making secrecy from Darth Prazutis effectively impossible.
- Cracks Show: Repeated activation of the alchemical barrier degrades the crystal, reducing its effectiveness over time.
The first Sightbound was not created in a moment of ceremony, but in the aftermath of failure.
Darth Prazutis stood alone in a chamber stripped of apprentices, their absence louder than any accusation. They had not been weak. They had not lacked instruction. They had simply learned to hide from one another, to fracture into rival paths, to vanish at the edges of his attention where interference and ambition found purchase. Power had not failed him. Structure had.
He turned to alchemy not to dominate, but to correct the flaw.
The crystals he selected were blood red and imperfect, grown slowly and cut with restraint. He left the fractures intact, watching how the Force moved through the broken places rather than around them. Each pendant was forged as part of a set, never alone, their resonance tuned so that no one shard could settle into silence without the others knowing. When worn, the Sightbound did not speak or command. They watched. They listened. They bound awareness into something unavoidable.
The first apprentices to wear them noticed the change immediately. Isolation became difficult. Intent carried weight. Distance no longer meant absence. Through the Sightbound, each apprentice felt the others as pressure in the Force, and behind that pressure, the steady presence of their master. Not guidance. Not comfort. Attention.
It was after the first ambush that the Sightbound were refined further. One apprentice lived where he should not have. Prazutis studied the crystal afterward, the stress lines etched deeper than before, and understood what the amulets could become. The barrier was added in the next forging cycle, woven into the crystal lattice as a reflex rather than a shield, meant to turn death aside just long enough to preserve what had been invested.
Since then, no Sightbound has been inherited. No set has been reused. Each generation receives their own, forged to reflect the living will of their master rather than the echoes of those who failed before. To wear the Sightbound is not a privilege. It is a condition. Under
