[SIZE=9pt]OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] The Gift of Life: Upon drinking from the Chalice & draining it completely, the user shall be provided an opportunity to cleanse their body and heighten their awareness through the Force. The effects may even affect Non-Force Users. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Unbreakable: The Chalice cannot be destroyed by heat, incineration, crushing, kinetic damage, blaster-fire, or a strike from a lightsaber.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Clumsiness Costs: Should the drinker fumble, drop, or otherwise displace the vessel, the contents will spill, creating a terrible mess. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Blood Magick: A primary concern held by those with intimate knowledge of the artifact’s abilities contend that only through the use of powerful Blood Magicks (thusly tainting it with the Dark Side of the Force) could the chalice have come into being. The effects of long-term or frequent use of the chalice are unexplored, and caution is advised. [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Fresh for so long: All blood begins to expire upon contact with the outside atmosphere. The chalice will not prevent this. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] One at a time: Only the drinker who’s blood is contained within the chalice may avail themselves of its’ abilities. Providing one’s own blood for another’s consumption is just gross. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Strong Force Signature: The chalice and anyone who drinks it will exude a powerful Force Signature that is difficult to ignore. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Upon emptying the chalice completely of any liquid, the drinker shall experience the sensation of being pricked by tiny needles through the palm or palms of the hands which hold it. For a few moments, timed to the beating of the heart, the chalice shall began to fill with the user’s own blood until ¾’s full - up until that moment, the drinker shall be unable to remove his hand or hands [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]by any means[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]. Upon reaching ¾’s full, the sensation will cease and the drinker may place the cup anywhere they please… being careful to not spill their own blood. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Wearing gloves or hand-coverings of any kind will not delay the effect. The user shall experience no pain, but will lose an amount of blood equal to that of about 1 pint. The draining effect shall last for no more than 45 seconds to 1 minute. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] Once the first part of the ritual is complete, one may drink their blood at any time. Doing so provides a number of benefits: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] The effects shall not last longer than a number of hours equal to the total amount of blood in the drinker’s body as measured by the Chalice (On average 5 - 7 hours, but no greater than 12). Once the effects have ended, the drinker may experience exhaustion as their body might feel drained, requiring rest and recuperation. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Intent:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] To create a unique & exciting submission to enrich RP opportunities for a lucky winner.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Name: An ancient drinking vessel[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Manufacturer:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Unknown - However, the chalice is rumored to have been found in an ancient burial ruin on a planet in the Vagadarr System. The chalice’s construction does not seem to be Zabraki or Dathomirian in origin, yet the effects of the chalice are reminiscent of Magicks practiced by the Nightsisters of Dathomir. The chalice has been dated back at least 2,000 years. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Any form of poison, drug, or debilitating illness (not including chronic injuries or serious health issues) shall be cured immediately. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The user shall acquire clarity - which may lead to insight into a problem, an increase in the ability to remain clear-headed and in-control of their emotions, or otherwise improve one’s ability to perceive things “as they are”. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Should the drinker be a Force-User, they will find their abilities to perceive living entities through The Force increases - though not beyond the level of Mastery. If the drinker is not a Force User, there is a chance they shall gain some ability to sense life through The Force, even able to discern generic details, provided the subject is not capable of shielding themselves in some way.
