The {{name}} is a cursed item that cannot be unequipped once equipped. Fetching this item is one of the quest steps in [[Raising Indrix]]. It is found on {{favilink|Mamon Souldrinker}}. If the player wears this while speaking to {{favilink|Warden Indrix}}, he will attack you. | |||
On first equip, the prism only grants +1 [[ego]] and -1 [[willpower]]. The player will also be granted an [[achievement#Go_on._Do_it.|achievement]]. However, every 4,800 turns (or 4 days), both the ego bonus and willpower penalty will increase by one. | |||
As the [[ego]] of the player grows, the name of the prism also changes color. | |||

This continues every 4 days until the willpower penalty causes the player's willpower to reach zero, where they will [[instant death|instantly die]]: | |||

==Astral Burdening== | |||
If the player has this equipped and becomes [[astrally burdened]] or [[astrally tethered]] there is a percentage chance based on the intensity of the reality stabilization effect for the player to be dazed for one turn.{{Code Reference | namespace = XRL.World.Parts.Effects | class = RealityStabilized}} | |||
==Precognition== | |||
Attempting to use [[precognition]] to equip the {{name}} and reverting back to when the player character did not equip it causes this message to appear: | |||
{{qud quote|From across the psychic sea, you feel the glare of unseen eyes. Someone is disappointed in you.}} | |||
[[ | The player character will lose -100 reputation with [[Highly entropic beings]] and 2-5 {{favilink id|Space-Time Vortex|plural}} will randomly spawn at a distance between 5-11 cells away from the player. | ||
