Gustaf Nordenskiöld’s Trowel

Origin
Gustaf Nordenskiöld was the first to study the ruins of Mesa Verde. Working with local cattle rancher Richard Wetherill, they excavated the cliff dwellings in a scientific and orderly manner. When Nordenskiöld departed America with several artifacts, many cried in anger that the archaeologist had stolen goods from the ancient site. However, xenophobia rather than justice was behind the response, as local looters received no punishment.

Effects
Will remove large amounts of dirt when in contact. The dirt will be displaced into mounds centered around the user. The effects stop when they reach rock or metal structures. The user will unintentionally take objects they do not own, although they will never steal something intentionally while affected.
