I’ll try to keep this short because I’ve been called to a secret meeting to the land of the elves. But basically, my dad is a good man; but lately he’s been scrying so much negativity from the land that he’s become despondent, apathetic, and cruel. I tell him to get off the orb because the dark lord is twisting his mind with the nonstop doom content.

He says that he has a strong mind and can’t be dominated, and that everything shown to him has been true. That might be the case, but he doesn’t seem to get that the propaganda happens by what it doesn’t show him. I try to tell him the good things that are happening in the world and he doesn’t seem to believe me because he didn’t see it on his orb.

This has become a problem because he basically runs the kingdom since we don’t have a king for the foreseeable future(though we haven’t had one for a looong time), which is why he’s even allowed to use the thing in the first place (long story, but the dark lord was involved there too.). I’m also worried about my little brother; I’m kind of the golden child and my dad has been treating him like shit lately just because my brother’s not as bold as me; my dad just doesn’t give him the chance and just shits on whatever he does. Hell, I’m leading a diplomatic secret mission right now and he’s got my brother as captain of some rangers on the border.

There’s a wizard (~2,000M) who’s going to the meeting too that I’ll try to ask, but I thought that I might also seek wisdom here. Is there some way to reach him or get rid of the orb?

Why would you need a spoon that can punch though dragonscale

Forward: The following is a list of minor artifacts surrendered to the dark watch for safekeeping. Oftentimes information around certain magical artifacts can be inaccurate and the object recovered can either be less powerful and or have different properties. Then what currently available information states. Or In much more common cases non magical beings submit magical artifacts which while relatively minor by our standards still pose a risk to the magically uninitiated If mishandled.  Not everyone knows the proper incantation to extinguish a fire enchanted iron sword. Here are some interesting examples.

Object name: Prayers rock

Object description: A red granite rounded stone approximately 13 cm by 10 cm by 11cm. Stone appears to be non-magical in terms of physical properties. With the exception of two the first is that the rock changes in size when worshiped growing at a study though barely noticeable rate. The Stone is incapable of performing miracles or granting cleric hood and or patronage. But the rock does have a secondary property of being sentient and becomes upset when it isn't “fed”

Containment: Object is to be kept inside of a source of flowing water capable of eroding it while being “fed” once every 18 to 24 months in order to keep the object at a consistent size.

Object name: Misfortunes revolver.

Object description:An arcanely strengthened 15mm 6 shot black powder revolver with copper inlay and Birchwood grip carved with a depiction of an elven woman. Used in a spate of suicides by a single family each family member that inherits the revolver coming to use it to take their own life. Dating back to at least four generations.

Containment: despite being magically strengthened the revolver is In fact not cursed at all The family that previously possessed it is just rather unlucky. Kept as Visarchs personal sidearm. 

Object Name:Fire sword

Object description: A standard fire enchanted steel long-sword surrendered by a mages academy was initially going to be given over to the armory till the discovery was made that the flames on the sword cannot be extinguished under any circumstances and flames transferred to a target will burn until their fuel supplies are exhausted a surprisingly potent weapon. The apprentice that made this by accident might have a bright future ahead of them if they can figure out how to replicate this mistake. 

Containment: 

Kept it up in a sealed stone room and sheathed inside fire resistant wyvern skin sheath. Those who wish to interact with the object are to adhere to basic fire safety at all times and are to minimize loose flammable objects such as long hair or loose flowing clothing or fur. 

Object name: Chowder calamity

One standard sized tablespoon made out of a mythril atamantine alloy magically enchanted with both strength and sharpness. The spoon has the ability to convert any liquid the spoon head makes contact with into clam chowder around 87° c in temperature. This includes liquids like blood or cerebral spinal fluid which is quite obviously lethal. Object is sharp enough to puncture dragon scale though the suicidal proximity required to do so means that the spoon is not a viable weapon for that application 

Object containment: Tracking spell placed upon object as Well as a silver band etched with rune-work that automatically teleports it back to the dark watch hold if It approaches the ocean. The object is to be kept away from large bodies of liquid as more testing is required to determine the upper volume limit of liquid capable of being converted. Currently located in The stronghold kitchens for use as an emergency food source.

Addendum: needs pepper.
