To neutralize such problems, the heroes can always follow the example of the Hope Diamond and donate it to a museum. This can cause a character to become Drunk on the Dark Side if the artifact grants its bearer some form of supernatural power. Though plenty lethal on its own, the Artifact of Attraction may be triple enchanted to serve as an Artifact of Death (to up the kill count) and as an Artifact of Doom (to corrupt the hapless holder) and serve as a trifecta of desire, death, and corruption. It can also turn the possessor into a Doom Magnet, as countless people die fighting among themselves while attempting to claim the artifact. Of course, because of its nature, no one wants to destroy it, making this kind of curse ideal for preserving an Artifact of Doom and Amulet of Dependency from being destroyed.
Knowing the Artifact of Attraction is capable of this doesn't stop the effects it causes, but may give the heroes enough warning to resist the effects long enough to destroy it or give it to the bad guys. They may be a luxury item (like a fashionable pair of red shoes or a ring), or perfectly mundane (a red stapler or a warm blanket). Unsurprisingly for an object that can bring about a veritable Hate Plague on those who set eyes on it (or even just know of its existence), the Artifact of Attraction tends to be a powerfully cursed item, though some mundane objects can become this trope merely through reputation and uniqueness.Īny object can serve as an Artifact of Attraction, but they tend to have a certain je ne sais quoi. It can cause a group of friends to become paranoid and distrustful, making them stop working together or even come to blows over ownership.
The Artifact of Attraction is an object that inspires obsession.
