Kunihiko Asou's Camera Obscuras

==Origin== Kunihiko Asou, a Japanese occultist, invented the first Camera Obscura in the nineteenth century in an attempt to talk to the "spirit world'. His invention was a (moderate) sucess, and he made more in an attempt to capatalise on his creation. This did not go as planned, however, and Asou went missing almost a two years after his first successful test, just before he could get the Camera into mass production.

Several of his personal Cameras gradually became scattered across Japan, and eventually the word. It is currently belived he had a set of ten, only two are stored in the Warehouse. After rumour's of Asou's experiments got around, more eager occultists began trying to re-create his invention, with varied results. Though many attempts were made, only few work.

1982
An undisclosed Agent of the Warehouse was the first to recover a Camera Obscura, and quickly found it's effects useful with the addition of Rasputin's Prayer Rope, another new addition. She discovered that, when film was put in the camera and a photo was taken of the aparations caused by the Rope, the spectre vanished, absorbed into the film. Subsequent tests have shown to be effective against apparations and even personal hallucinations.

It's most valued effect, however, was discovered by accident, when another agent attempted to take a photo of a person affected by an artifact. When the picture was taken, the effects of the artifact immeditely wore off. Close inspecion of the film showed a shadow of the affected person where the subject was. Upon the film fading, the effects of the artifact returned.

Today
Three Camera Obscura's are currently in the Warehouse (two original makes and one re-creation) along with the only surviving blueprints of the original. One is placed outside of the Warehouse to pervent possesed individuals getting in, another was recently set up outside Felix Draco's workshop after he found that taking a picture of Old Bone, currently his worst fear, will de-activate him by severing the connection with his Etir pool until he is re-submerged.
