Memento Mortem
Memento Mortem is a Symbiotic Artifact which is unique amongst the different types of artifacts. It can evolve with the absorption of different artifacts and mana stored in cursed objects or monsters. With every artifact absorbed, it opens up 3 base skills along with additional skills depending on how much stored artifacts and stored mana is currently in Memento Mortem. It's a broken artifact predicted to be able to store around 40 different skills while most individuals will be lucky to obtain even 10 skills in their given lifetime. Furthermore, because of its relation to curses, cursed items that would usually give someone debuffs can be worn by the owner of Memento Mortem. However, while it's broken, it does have its counters. Some skills condense mana to create an activation core which produces a skill's effect. If the colorless seed-size activation core takes damage during its creation, it will disperse the mana and the skill will cancel. Finally, if the User uses more mana than they currently hold then the after effects are a short debuff period along with a 12 hour time limit to replenish any amount of mana for Memento Mortem or else he and the user will die shortly after.
