Hm. It almost feels like it could be based on that. Perhaps the poison affects a victim, but causes the user to feel emotionally charged? Something to that effect?

Okay, so yesterday a co-worker played me this song, and it creeped the &^%$ out of me. So, today I listened to it again, and it gave me an idea for another Dark Vault artifact. Here's the video.

So the artifact is a doll that looks very similar to this. Effects: Locking eyes with this doll induces extreme horror and causes the victim to flee the doll's presence. The doll is able to animate itself at this point and plays "hide and seek" with the victim, tracking them down. When the doll finds the victim, it sucks their soul out of their body into itself. The effect is permanent. Neutralizer has very little effect on the doll and cannot be used to neutralize it once it activates.

There are a few things I could use help on for this idea, though. First, what is this artifact's background origin? Second, is there a way to defeat the doll (I think it would have to be someone who is not being affected at the moment). Lastly, what extra safety precautions have to be taken around this doll in order to keep the agents safe, and what is the proximity effect? I feel as though it might involve neutralizer goggles, but is that enough? Also, perhaps the proximity effect has to do with the souls of the people trapped inside the doll.
