rynlingAlso, I figured out the "ancient magical relic" that Ananth is looking for.
It's a smartphone lmao.
In this universe, magic can be transferred and stored in physical objects. This isn't common, as such magic tends to degrade quickly if it's not maintained. What makes this smartphone special is that it was present at the site of the apocalypse. The person who precipitated the event, the goddess known as "The Weaver" (actual name Josie Harris), attempted to mitigate the situation by containing some of the energy in the closest object she had on hand, which happened to be her smartphone.
I'm going to have to come up with a different brand name, but it's a Samsung Galaxy S7, which is shaped like a perfect black bar about the size of a human hand. I guess that puts the apocalypse in 2020, which seems appropriate.
I was thinking that the relic would be symbolic in some way, but no. It's just a smartphone. I find the mundanity satisfying for some reason, so let's roll with it.
