A dark, obsidian-like artifact rests upon a pedestal within an opulent chamber, its surface adorned with red, glowing gems. The smooth, alien texture of the relic, combined with its gothic design, suggests it holds great power—perhaps of necromantic origin. This fantasy artifact pulses with cursed energy, its black and crimson hues standing in stark contrast to the rich surroundings. The relic could be the key to unlocking ancient, forbidden spells or awakening long-dead warriors.
