Having had time to attune to Yuria, Clementine's strap changes into a chain, signifying its bond with her. Should anyone else play or hold Clementine, the chain will sprout electrified thorns of steel that slowly start wrapping around the offender's body, constricting and causing damage until they relinquish the guitar.
Clementine and Yuria have truly become a pair at this point, and cannot bear to be seperated from each other. To this end, Clementine will ensure that anyone who steals it will very quickly regret doing so, and Yuria is able to magically retrieve Clementine no matter where it is taken.

The user yanks on the top and tiny particulates of various diseases stream out toward the target. Thousands of different plagues and illnesses permeate the body and cause the target to wither and runes made of sores form across their chest.

The Scepter of Ang-Kapal is a gruesome device fashioned to look like a skeletal arm clutching a glass eye. When used, blood from the person holding is drawn into the eye where it swirls with dark energy. The eye turns to a nearby corpse and shudders, reviving the creature. The creature does not retain any of its memories or personality, but it is absolutely loyal to whoever is holding the scepter.
The Scepter of Ang Kepal has the unfortunate side effect of driving its owner mad.

You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma.

If the contested Outcome is positive, the most recent 1 hour from your target’s memory is either replaced with new memories or forgotten entirely. This is recorded as a Condition. The level of detail and completeness of the alteration depends on your Outcome. If you fail, the target realizes that you are attempting to alter their memories.
The period is chosen either by time (i.e. “last Friday night”) or by reference to a specific event (i.e. “when the murder occurred”).
