I'm making a set of artifacts for my setting, and am unsure of how to continue, here are the first six that i have, then there'll be two more that I don't have anything written down for yet. I'm working on the Diadem of Life right now, and I'm considering giving it a Resurrection power, among another few things I was considering a constant charm animals like effect, but I'm just not sure. So if anyone could help me with any of them I would be very thankful.
Diadems of Dematriss
These diadems are artifacts left over from the ancient civilization commonly known as Dematriss, these diadems are commonly the subject of legends and myths throughout Solina, and six are known to exist. Many have tried, however the gemstones atop each diadem seem to be fixed into their location beyond mortal means, and haven’t been loosened.
Each diadem must be worn for three days before the diadem is attuned, and bestows its powers to the wearer.
The Diadem of Courage: This bronze diadem has been shaped to appear to be fire wrapping around the head of the wearer, complete with a blue tint near the base. Atop the middle flame sits a flawless blood ruby, as you stare into it you can see a small flame flickering in the center.
Once this diadem is activated the bronze seems to spread like flames, forming a complete circle around the wearer’s head, and bronze color flame patterns appear on the wearer’s arms.
The Diadem of Insight: This iron diadem is a simple band to wrap around a head, with two short pedestals holding two flawless teardrop shaped pieces of amber. Although empty inside, you swear you can sense some sort of movement just when you look away.
Once this diadem is attuned the iron materializes into a full circle around the wearer’s head, and the wearer’s sclera (white part of the eyes) turns amber in color.
The Diadem of Peace: This cold Iron diadem is the deep blue color of the ocean, and has a flowing appearance; this diadem has three wave-like protrusions at the top, each holding a flawless tanzanite. Inside of these gems there is a small pool of water perfectly calm no matter the wearer’s movement.
Once this diadem is attuned the cold iron flows around the wearer’s head, forming a full circle in addition to giving the wearer’s hair a seaweed green hint to it.
The Diadem of Vitality: This stone diadem is very rough and uneven, and has four hills atop of it, each holding a flawless sunstone in place. Inside each of which, appears to be a very small sun, not bright enough to annoy just enough to be noticed.
Once this diadem is attuned the stone grows to form a complete circle around the wearer’s head, and the wearer’s skin hardens and seems to take the texture of stone.
The Diadem of Life: This ironwood diadem appears to be made of twisting vines wrapping around the wearer’s head, there are five leaves sprouting from the top, each one holding in place a flawless emerald. Inside each of these emeralds sits a sapling tree, forever in stasis.
Once this diadem is attuned the ironwood vines twist around themselves and come to a complete circle around the wearer’s head, along with a vine hanging down the temples of the wearer.
The Diadem of Mystery: This mithral diadem is differently shaped to everyone that sees it, although it always holds six flawless amethysts atop it, each amethyst’s core seems to change into a different color randomly.
Once this diadem is attuned the mithral extends to connect itself around the wearer’s head, forming a full circle in addition to turning to wearer’s iris to purple.
Edit: these are all Minor Artifacts, the other two will be major, but I want to get these done first.
