Wilhelm Wundt’s Laboratory

Origin
Wilhelm Wundt was the founder of modern day psychology as a separate scientific field of study. He had a laboratory at the University of Leipzig and tested on mental disorders, abnormal behavior, religious beliefs and brain damage. Many of his students became important figures later on in psychological research. Wundt was most famous for his use of introspection, a method where a person self-examines their own mind to learn more about their oneself.

Effects
The lab contains scientific equipment widely used from the late 19th and early 20th centuries in scientific and psychological experiments. They can all be used to perform tests but possess no extraordinary or unusual properties. The object with anomalous abilities is actually the room itself. Any object brought into or out from the lab will gain no strange effects.

When one enters the room, they can successfully use introspection to understand themselves as what kind of person they truly are, past and present. However, once they leave the room, the introspection ability will take over and cause them to keep re-examining their life, effectively trapping the user within their own mind. It can only be neutralized if the person re-enters the room; afterwards, exiting the room for a second time will have no effect.

It has been debated for years whether to store it in the science, trap, or architecture sections, so it has taken up residence within the Ovoid Quarantine while it waits.
