I completely disagree with the path Griff took; it shouldn't have any connection to Indiana Jones.

It's in the Dark Vault, so it's obviously incredibly dangerous. I think the question is whether or not it's a real Crystal Skull from ancient times or one of the twelve fabricated ones made in the late 1800s. I think that'll make a huge difference in effects.

My idea, which I just came up with based on this short History article, is as follows: A Crystal Skull of unknown origin, though the artifact was discovered in the depths of a Mayan Temple in Central America. Proximity to the Skull grows psychokinetic powers in people that quickly grows out of control, resulting in death by melting of the brain. Users don't want to leave the proximity of the Skull once under its effects and become more aggressive. The process from initial effects to final death is roughly 36 hours. The neutralizer radius is three feet, and handling requirements require an artifact dampener that reduces psychokinetic properties of users.
