New Artifact: Ink of Chtulhu

Of course, the villains in The Broken Brides of Europe used this foul supernatural substance to gain occult powers. (Because of course Old Squidface IS a squid!)

Ink of Cthulhu (minor artifact)

Aura strong transmutation and necromancy [evil] CL 20th

Slot none; Price —; Weight 8 lb./gallon

This sickly green, phosphorescent ichor from a submersed ancient god has many uses. It is a powerful ingredient for many evil occult rituals. Pure or diluted in other liquids and drunk, it grants an evil creature the horrific glimpse ability of a shaman with the Dark Tapestry spirit for 1 day. If used to bathe the body, it grants 1 mythic tier or rank to an evil user. If used as writing or painting ink, it has the effect of a sinspawn’s sinful bite on the watcher or reader. Finally, if used to draw tattoos on a creature’s body, it confers a profane bonus on Armor Class equal to the higher among that creature’s Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma scores.

Destruction: Drinking the liquid or bathing in it destroys it. If used as writing, painting, or tattoo ink, it is destroyed when the painted/inscribed item or the tattooed creature is destroyed.
