- Material: Alchemised Wood | Alchemised Theadian (transparent part) | Kyber crystal dust.
- Born for Grief: The object was made out of the mourning and pain of the Empress of the Eternal Empire, and the crystals also shattered as a result. It is for this reason that when the object senses someone’s pain, or just their emotions through the Force, they are able to shine brightly, reacting to the emotions.
- Reflection of Wishes: If someone leans close to the sphere, they can see in it what they want. The most pleasant memory, a missing person, is what they longs for at that very moment. These are just the desires of the user of the object, its reflections.
- Force Visions: If someone touches the sphere, they can see a Force-vision. This will not necessarily happen, but rather a possible future they see. Typically in relation to what is currently in their mind, what they are thinking a lot, or concerns them.
- Colourful: As a result of the emotions felt, different emotions appear in different colours. Thus, the light effect emitted by the object can be beautifully colourful. They are constantly lit, the basic colour is this bluish hue, it is a sign of calm state.
- Ornaments: They can be the wedge of any apartment, not too small and not too big, that is, of average size, can be placed and used anywhere. They are pretty!
- Durable: Because the accessories are made with alchemy, it is difficult to damage them, which is especially good if someone drops the object because it may not damage them.
- Alchemised: Because it was made with Force Alchemy, the presence of the object can be felt in the Force, i.e. it can be tracked. The object is neutral, which can be quite striking in Sith hands.
- Uncomfortable: The Force-vision they see can be uncomfortable and shocking to someone who is not prepared for it.
- Force Nullification: Because the crystal dust that is inside it is permeated by the Force, and the object is alchemised, so it does not work in such an area where there is no Force. In that state, it is just a snow globe, with coloured crystal pieces instead of just “snow”.
This day was the worst day of Ingrid L’lerim Vandiir’s life. By now, she had secretly married Adrian Vandiir, and there was only a few days left until the second, grandiose wedding in Zakuul. The NIO attacked again, this time Dantooine, and Ingrid decided to help her husband save the relics, artefacts and research data from the church. Adrian didn't know the woman would be here because she suddenly had an idea to come down in person.
Ingrid thought she was going to surprise her husband, but something else happened. At the time of arrival, Adrian was not in the hangar and the Force Bond remained obscure between the two of them. She couldn't send a telepathic message to the man or determine exactly where she was. It all took about five minutes; if the woman arrived five minutes earlier, Adrian would still be alive. At least the Empress has thought so ever since.
Ingrid searched the Sith Lord in vain, she could not find it, but she suffered all the injuries of her husband, she knew exactly what he felt when and where he would be harmed. This was not pleasant during the fight with the GA Jedi. Then the moment she felt the death of her beloved man, she already knew where he was. Ingrid survived the deadly heart stab because she didn't have a heart as a semi Force Entity.
However, the ruptured, ceasing Force-bond left behind a huge void and never-ending pain. Trying to hold Adrian's soul, she begged him as she sobbed, but the soul of the Sith Lord shattered to pieces, unable to save the man who had died in the crystal cave by the hand of
Runi Verin
.The woman's pain manifested in a Force-scream and all the crystals broke into pieces in the cave, essentially ceasing to function as a crystal cave. Later, the crystal powder that was left of these was collected and the woman made these ornaments from these crystals dust.
The items were eventually given as a gift to every person fighting there to remember the self-sacrifice and the price they paid to keep Dantooine under the rule of the Sith Empire.
