Details

Description: A half face mask forged from the broken remnants of a curse, the skull-like piece covers the right half of Kenzo's face with haunting precision. Arcane shadows linger in its lone, hollow eye socket, leaving behind a pitch black void where a flickering blue flame can be seen instead of an eye.

Contrary to its appearance, the evil nature of the mask envelops the entire head of the user when worn, providing the same protection as a full helmet would.

Product of the boundless malice of an ancient demon, Kenzo's curse materialized into a skeletal jaw embedded into his cheekbone. As he grew older, so did the curse, feeding off the damned souls of those the mercenary killed. One fateful day, and seemingly out of nowhere, Kenzo felt the jaw's powers swell and surge—the malign power enveloping his face, twisting and growing into a full monstruous skull that sought to claim him entirely.

Thanks to a fortuitous intervention, the warrior was able to tear the mask apart, halting its spread just as it had grown to cover half of his face. Unfortunately for him, the jaw in his cheekbone had remained intact, leaving him only with the now detached remnants of the half skull that had threatened to consume him whole. A grim reminder that there was no escaping the evil that followed him everywhere.

Effect: As the user swipes their hand over the mask, the flickering flame on the mask's lone eye burns brighter as a magic circle materializes. The skull appears to grin maliciously as the flame flashes for an instant, turning the user and any object they possess completely invisible. While in this state, the user is coated with an arcane, shifting aura, making it impossible for others to see them without modifiers. The invisibility continues for as long as the spell is sustained or until the user attacks someone.
