King Midas's Crown

King Midas's Scepter is a scepter belonging to King Midas, a character from Greek mythology.

History
King Midas was a king who had a desire for gold. Fortunately, he met a Satyr who would grant his wish. Soon, everything the king touched turned to gold, including his scepter. However, the king soon found out that transforming everything to gold in one touch had its disadvantages. For example, he couldn't eat without the food turning into solid gold, and anything he wanted to drink turned to gold, too. When he hugged his daughter, she was transformed into a golden statue. Distraught, King Midas asked the Satyr to reverse his blessing and remove his golden touch. He complied, and the king was very happy.

Effects
The Scepter, when held, will allow the user to cover any object or person in gold plating. As a downside, the user's greed will increase. As their greed increases, their skin begins to turn to gold. If the artifact isn't neutralized within 4 hours, the user will become a gold statue forever.
