Ib Amulet

An ancient Egyptian Soul artifact

Appearance
Shaped like a human heart and colored gold.

Collection
Aden Taylor collected it personally while on a mission for another artifact that had brought someone back to life. He made contact with the Ba artifact and accidentally activated it, revealing his almost completely pure soul. He promptly purchased it, along with its three companions, and bagged them.

Abilities
While the amulet normally weighs nine to eleven ounces, it will grow heavier if the user lies, and lighter if the user tells the truth.

Connections
The Ib is the "heart" of soul. Before passing to the afterlife, the heart must be weighed against the Feather of Truth. If it is lighter than or perfectly balanced with the Feather, the person may pass to the afterlife. If it is heavier than the feather, the soul is consumned by Ammit, sentencing the person to a sessation of existence.

It is also the possible origin of the phrase "to have a heavy heart."
