Psine Artifacts
NEETS (Neural Engram Encoded Tools) are psine artifacts created when a psion binds their psine to a preexisting object, allowing the object to take on abilities, rules, or properties encoded by its creator.
The term ‘Neets’ is commonly believed to have been coined at Ashura Grando University, while terms like artifacts, and relics are still preferred among adventurers.A psine artifact is an object forged through the use of psine. The user can forge an item with their psine, binding it to a preexisting object with the sacrifice of psine production from their body or even their entire Psine reserves.
A user can even go as far as sacrificing their psinecore, bound to their own life essence, creating an artifact that is more powerful than the psion during their lifetime but killing them in the process.
This allows the user to create something that outlives them and can remain useful to their allies long after the creator’s death.
The creator can infuse their will into the artifact, allowing the tool to only be used in a specific way or by specific people.
If the creator is powerful enough, they can encode psine into the artifact to enforce these rules.
Breaking an encoded rule can cause a form of psionic backlash against the user.
Famous Artifacts
Epithet: The Evolving Sword, Mountain Cleaver
Classification: Nation Treasure of Eiria
Futsunomitama is a sword forged by the founder of Urlurra Village and bound to the Amakusaye bloodline.
The sword may appear to be an ordinary weapon, but it possesses an ability that causes it to evolve through prolonged use within a certain time frame.
The more it stabs, the longer it becomes.
The more it slices, the sharper it becomes.
When used by others, Futsunomitama functions as a regular sword and will often reject strangers attempting to wield it by emitting a psionic shockwave.
The Mountain Cleaver
Futsunomitama was used to cut Outlook Mountain in half when the Tauredites used to hide there, using its high vantage point to spy on the Urlurra villagers.
“The more it pokes, the longer it’s set. The more it cuts, the sharper it gets.”
