Origin[]
A meter-long fragment from a preserved mammoth from the Siberian steppes. Although considered a rare occurrence, more and more mammoths are being found. It is said that mammoths were entombed in ice so quickly that the grass they were eating didn't have time to digest.
This was used as inspiration for the Disney film “Frozen”.
Effects[]
When one comes into contact with the tusk, they will be immediately frozen in a block of ice. The process is irreversible and the people touched by it will not be recovered, but if it is used in a very warm climate, the process is considerably slower and, although it takes a long time for the ice to thaw out in this case, the victim will live through the incident and come out with no ill effects once the ice is thawed.
This side to the artifact was found out when the Warehouse Agent assigned to retrieving the tusk got lost in the desert while in possession of the artifact, and in a last-ditch attempt to save himself from dehydration, froze himself with the tusk, which kept him cool and moist enough to survive until a rescue plane found him.
