Joan Feynman's Ski Pole

Origin
Joan Feynman is an American astrophysicist. She has made important contributions to the study of solar wind and magnetospheric physics. In particular, Feynman is known for developing an understanding of the origin of auroras. She is also known for creating a model that predicts the number of high-energy particles likely to hit a spacecraft over its lifetime, and for uncovering a method for predicting sun spot cycles.

Effects
Used during her Arctic trips, this ski pole has the power to create a small magnetic pole when stuck into the ground. This can affect mechanical objects in the vicinity and under the right conditions can produce a small aurora effect. Because the effects are unpredictable and may be catastrophic, particularly if left unchecked, this artifact is stored in a crate and is not to be used for any purpose.
