Origin[]
Aphrodite was a Greek love goddess who controlled romance, beauty and fertility. Eros, either her son or a primordial being, is a god of sexual and physical love. Both appear to have overlap in powers of attraction in their various historiographical sources. Their Roman counterparts were Venus and Cupid. These statuettes were made in their likeness.
Effects[]
When one holds a statuette and concentrates on another, the figure on top will turn in the direction of the target, if they are experiencing the emotion that statuette represents. The Aphrodite statuette detects romantic affection, and Eros detects physical lust and desire. Whichever modality of love is stronger, psychological or biological, affects which partner will activate. A moderate mix of both will cause a weaker connection in either piece.
Overusing one creates a tolerance for the other form, meaning they need greater displays of sexuality or affection to pique their interest. Continues until they become completely unresponsive to certain forms of love.
