The Gun

Vapula swears - he swears - that he didn't create this artifact. Nobody believes him, but they should - for one thing, even he's not insane enough to manufacture something like this: for another, it works perfectly. Of course, neither Jean nor Eli would create something like this, either. It's just one of those little mysteries, apparently.

The Gun looks like a cap pistol. To use, point at someone and pull the trigger. The target (which must be a living human, ethereal or celestial) gets to make a Will roll at -6 to resist the effects. If he or she fails, then the modified Celestial Song of Life takes effect -

Why, yes, I did say "Celestial Song of Life". May I continue?

Thank you.

Anyway, the modified Celestial Song of Life takes effect. Humans (including Undead and blessed/damned souls) will immediately be transformed into a reliever, imp or gremlin (GM call which, based on whether the person is nice or not) of the same number of Forces. Should one of those rare humans with 9 Forces or more be targeted, he or she will be immediately turned into either an angel or demon (again, GM call on the type and Choir/Band). Ethereals are turned into a pillar of salt. Actually, that's a lie: they get turned into a pillar of Primordial Clay (level equal to their Forces). Celestials - well, that's the strange one. They get turned into a 7 Force human: any extra Forces are turned into 1 Force babies, which will grow up into perfectly normal 7 Force humans themselves. There's also a very loud boom.

Why, yes, the effects are permanent - and of course anyone could use the relic. Every Superior on both sides is screaming for a reason, after all...
