An extremely powerful artifact. Sent to Universe 43 by Universe 42, via Mercanis Dawn. It was sent in an attempt to stop the Chronos Oblivion that ate Universe 42. It is used to propel people toward becoming a God. It pushes people that are close to achieving this state over the edge.
It was found by Epheron, Ildarish, and Arinson. Epheron had to use it to escape the ruins it was stored in, and quickly fled to Goug. Its activation was felt world over.
Responsible for the deification of Shali.
Oblivion Overdrive - Divine Magic Item / Invention
Most people in the history of the multiverses attempt to strive themselves away from the end, away from the perpetual darkness - away from oblivion. However, the user of the oblivion overdrive does the exact opposite. They propel themselves face first into the abyss of nothingness in order to gain power.
This is a very dangerous item indeed. It essentially throws a future self into your past body and mind. The cost is that it takes your body energies rapidly until you stop using it or it finally takes your soul.
The device's appearance is an impossibility. It looks like something that would be impossible in the minds of each person that sees it - one person might see Ourobros, another might see an Escher hypercube. Inscribed somewhere on the cube are the letters "G. V. H." (Ed. Note: Goddess Varia Hyral?) The reason for this is unknown. As soon as it is seen, an extreme amount of magical power is detected from the cube - more so than any other source of magic power in the world. This item was obviously created by some god or goddess, for reasons unknown.
