The Weapon

Also known as The Jet Mirror.

A large disk of glossy black stone, twice human height, balanced impossibly on its narrow edge atop a massive circular slab of dark basalt-like rock.  

No wind shakes the precarious balance of the disk. No person casts a reflection in the glossy stone. ''

While you look it is impassive, unmoving. But each time you return, the disc has rotated around the slab to a new position. ''

Since a recent evening, for a handswidth around the basalt slab the dirt is scorched and all the plants are scalded and dead.

When you sit before the disk and burn something linked to a person (their hair, their blood, a possession of theirs), you see them vaguely reflected in the mirror. If you inhale the smoke, roll +WIS. On a 10+, you can ask 2 from below. On a 7-9, you can ask 1, but you carry their passions with you: mark the Confused debility. On a miss, ask 1 anyway but they see you in return. They ask 1 question of you in turn, and you both are burnt (d8 ignores armour, mark a debility). Then, mark 1 circle.
 * What hatred burns within them?
 * What ambition burns within them?
 * What lust burns within them?
 * What bitterness burns within them?
 * What love burns within them?

When you sit before the disk and burn the native plants of a place, a darkling vision of that land appears in the mirror. If you inhale the smoke, roll +WIS: on a 10+, ask 2 of the questions below; on a 7-9, ask 1 but a fever-heat rises in your flesh--mark Shaky, Sickened, or Dazed (your choice). On a miss, your spirit manifests before the Weapon, visible to all like a heat-shimmer and igniting any fuel nearby. Ask 1 anyway, but you are stuck out of body until you can will yourself back to it, at which point you take d8 damage (ignores armor) and mark a debility and a circle.
 * What fires are raging there?
 * What fires there are sparking into life?
 * What embers there await fanning into flame?
 * What kindling there is ready to catch a flame?
 * Who there wishes to kindle a blaze?
