Artifact
Mindstealer Dagger
The Mindstealer Dagger is a small, unassuming dagger made of a strange purple metal that seems to absorb the light around it. Its blade is sharp and thin, and its hilt is wrapped in a dark green, oily leather that is unpleasant to the touch.1
Stolen memories
A wound from the dagger can drain a memory from its victim. The wielder may choose the memory to be taken; if no choice is made, the victim loses the last hour. Any event or piece of knowledge the victim holds can be stolen this way, and it may be lost for good, though powerful restorative magic can bring the lost memories back.1
The theft does not end with the wound. The wielder can later recall a memory once stolen with the dagger and learn what it held.1
