Icon clue generic.png
a Dragoon Ball
Legends say that if you find all 7 of the Dragoon Balls, it will summon a mighty mystical cavalryman who can grant you a wish. But this is only one of them, so it's really not that useful.
Icon clue generic.png
a Responsometron
This densely packed computer core could be used as the AI for a very advanced robot. Some even think that a human consciousness could be updated into one.
Icon clue generic.png
a Rikti Bomb
It's here, and still deactivated. This bomb uses a strange Rikti power source in an out-of-control reaction to produce an immense amount of damage. Good thing you got to it.
Icon clue generic.png
a Rikti interface
The Rikti used some kind of telepathy to communicate with their semi-organic technology. Before the Rikti War was over, human scientists were trying to learn how this worked, so that they could copy it or jam it.

Event Horizon
It's an odd crystal with a thin violet line running through the middle. You have no idea how to read it, but there's a large "spike", like on a heart monitor, a few millimeters to the right. Does that mean some major event is coming soon?
Icon clue generic.png
File X
These files contain accounts of truly extraordinary events. And in a world where superhumans fly through the sky, that's saying something. Entire departments in government agencies filled with top men work on this kind of thing. With the knowledge in here, someone unscrupulous could have caused a great deal of trouble.
Icon clue generic.png
Formula 13
Formula 13 was one of the last of the Cold War attempts to create a super-trooper serum that could turn normal people into superhuman soldiers. It never worked right, but stolen data from the program helped in the creation of Superadyne.
Icon clue generic.png
G-Cells
These are cells from one of the giant monsters the late hero Talos fought back in the 1960s. No one has been able to unlock their genetic secrets and control the effect of the experiments since, but science continues to try.
Icon clue generic.png
Isis' Staff

Icon clue generic.png
Inobtanium Alloy
This alloy of Nonsuchium and Yeahritium is an extraordinary material. It's a good thing that you were able to get it away from the bad guys.
Icon clue generic.png
Long John's silver
The cultural and historical importance of these silver coins recovered from the bottom of the sea far outweigh their monetary value. But some would say that their magical value is greater still.
Icon clue generic.png
Prototype Artificial Intelligences
These prototype artificial intelligences are dangerous foir their ability to be molded. In the wrong hands, they could become free-roaming cyber terrorists, or worse. But thanks to you, they have a chance to become productive members of the electronic world.
Icon clue generic.png

Icon clue generic.png
Serafina's Veil

Icon clue generic.png

Icon clue generic.png
the Blood Ruby
Hmm. It's red and it's a ruby and it makes you feel weak when you hold it. This is definitely one for MAGI. Heck, maybe it's a good thing if a villain steals this from the vault!
Icon clue generic.png
the Blue Oyster
The Blue Oyster is a giant sapphire. Rumors say it can be used to summon a giant monster from the depths, or contact elder beings called "The Invisible Ones". Whatever it's supposed to do, it's best that the bad guys don't have it anymore.

Icon clue generic.png
the Dagger of Erishkigel

This isn't so much a hand, as a big elaborately decorated box. The thing doesen't seem to respond to anything, like it's just waiting for its true owner to return.
Icon clue generic.png
the Leshy corpse
This is disgusting. It looks like some kind of naked pygmy with blue skin and green hair and eyes and smells like rotten eggs. You're pretty sure it's culturally relevant somehow, to someone.
Icon clue generic.png
The Liquid Computer
From the more exotic areas where information technology and beverage engineering overlap comes the Liquid Computer. By utilizing laminar fluid flow and self-assembling nanotech scaffolds, this liquid can perform more calculations that a supercomputer, all in a 2-liter bottle. And it's caffeine free!
Icon clue generic.png

Icon clue generic.png
the neural scrambler

Icon clue generic.png
the OTTO MCRC-E

This unique weapon was created by a Japanese scientist to combat aquatic giant monsters. Its hideous effects caused it to be banned by UN treaty.
Icon clue generic.png
the P.L.O.T. device
The Phased Linear Oscillation Transducer is a miraculous device, capable of producing such a variety of effects that many find it simply unbelievable. However, overusing a P.L.O.T. device can have serious consequences, and the more egregious uses can strain the very fabric of reality. P.L.O.T devices have fallen out of favor overall, but many a young and reckless pioneer has picked up a well-used P.L.O.T. device and run with it.
Icon clue generic.png
the Painting of Lee Towers
It's a painting of Lee Towers in Paragon City, but it seems alive. Clouds move, people walk about, heroes fly by, and even the time changes. Rumor is you can use the painting to get inside, but no one knows how to do it.

Wow. That is one big claw. You'd hate to imagine the bird this sucker came from.

Icon clue generic.png
The Sumerian relics
Urns, pots and a couple of bronze weapons. While they don't have much overt mystical power, a properly trained and prepared wizard could use them for some very dangerous purposes.
Icon clue generic.png
the Superadigm Seed
Not to be confused with the illegal street drug Superadyne, the Superadigm Seed is a relic of a long-lost alien race known as the Keer-B that was brought to Earth by the Kheldians. It's an artificially constructed pocket universe where the seeds of super-powers and heroism were sown, and then allowed to develop. Its inhabitants fight for justice against the forces of evil, never knowing than their entire cosmos can fit in someone's pocket. It's thought that if the seed could be planted outside the boundaries of the universe, it could grow to a new universe of its own. In the meantime, numerous rogues have tried to get their hands on it.
Icon clue generic.png

Icon clue generic.png

Zoria's magic wand
Baron Zoria was already a notorious occult villain around the turn of the century when he began to investigate the legends of the lost city of Oranbega. Whatever he found, he re-emerged at the head of a new cult known as the Circle of Thorns. Some say whatever dire secrets he found changed him forever. He used to use wands like this all the time in his occult crimes, and many seek his old cast-offs to improve their own powers.
