Augustin-Jean Fresnel's Magnifying Glass

Origin
Augustin-Jean Fresnel, was a French engineer and physicist who contributed significantly to the establishment of the theory of wave optics. Fresnel studied the behavior of light both theoretically and experimentally.

He is perhaps best known as the inventor of the Fresnel lens, first adopted in lighthouses while he was a French commissioner of lighthouses, and found in many applications today.

This magnifying glass was made through Fresnel's own design to test his theories on wave optics, which made the glasses lens work a little too well. Thus making the magnifying glass into an artifact.

Effects
Once exposed to any source of light, the lens instantaneously focuses the light energy into one point destroying anything in its way until the light is unfocused. If the light is exposed into the lens for a long period, the lens start to devlop their own source of light.

Usage
Artie used this artifact at the location of Warehouse 2 to destroy a passage way door on the ceiling of the old warehouse and rescue Pete and Myka.
