A glowing iron fragment
Look: Pale white light surrounds a jagged metallic shard. At first the fragment appears to glisten and shine with a crystalline quality, but upon closer examination you realize this is due to a layer of condensation that has frozen fast to its surface.

Presumed to be a fallen star during the Cosmic Conudrum event. If not properly stored in a star-streaked sack the fragment will quickly lose it's power although even stored in the Sack, the power will eventually fade.

If handled without hand armor, it will cause minor hand and skin wounds due to the extreme cold.

Enhances Phelim's Sanction and Starlight Sphere if held during casting, but it will accelerate the power decay.

Source

The fragments were originally found in the company of rock fragments after a meteor impact. As the Holy Festival 392 grew closer, they begun to be found on the bodies creatures.

Just before the festival opening, there was a large meteor shower and hundreds of them appeared on the ground over an hour's time.

Study

From a Clerical point of view
Though the fragment has been heavily polluted with Lunar Magic, you feel a thrill of divine meaning through your soul as you unravel its design.

The influence of three gods converge within the fragment. You sense that the fragment is intimately connected to Tamsine and considered a holy relic by the grace of Phelim. Dark and destructive -- yet no less holy -- currents ripple through the fragment as well, connecting this piece of iron to the terrible will of Huldah.

The connection between Tamsine and Phelim, along with the Lunar pollution, suggests that this is a star fallen from the place where Phelim suspended it. Its appearance and physical composition are manifestations of Huldah's influence, capable of turning divine tears into something deadly and base. You intuit that if the star is left as it is now, Huldah's influence over it will continue to grow and finally become ascendant.

Despite its fallen state, you conclude that it is still an important relic of Phelim. Outside of whatever purpose the gods have set for it, you could likely amplify the Phelim's Sanction spell with its presence.

Focus

You feel an intense chill through your mail gloves.
You focus your magical senses on a glowing iron fragment.
You detect a powerful charge of Lunar energy emanating from the fragment.
The charge is inexorably dissipating but does not show any signs of stress yet. Though it appears at first glance to be nothing but a Moon Mage's curio, you detect a trace of divine meaning hidden within the strange magic. Careful study and reflection of the fragment could reveal more.

Uses

Upon PRAYing at the entrace to the festival, a supplicant would receive a totem of whatever god they prayed too.

If the totem and the fragment were both held in the hands, and the totem was RAISEd, the fragment would shoot into the sky. After a number of fragments were returned, the totem would randomly morph into a more pleasant form. These morphings happened at 4, 10, ?, and ? fragments, and at 45 fragments, the totem would pulse with power as if yearing to be used.

If the totem was then kissed, it would flash with white light and a vision of a guardin hand would be seen to the user. No information on what this does.
