Martin Luther's Nails

Origin
Martin Luther was a German friar (Observant Augustinian), Catholic priest, professor of theology and seminal figure of the 16th-century movement in Christianity known later as the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with monetary values. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel, a Dominican friar, with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the Pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor.

When Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses on the doors of the Castle Church of Wittenberg, his will to tell the church that paying them will not resolve the peoples sins. That energy was transferred into the nails and became imbued with the power to reveal the truth at any cost.

Effects
If held when not answering a question truthfully, the nails dig into the holder until they reach the heart and puncture it.
