Origin[]

Wilhelm Rontgen produced the first person to detect and record the wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum known as x-rays. In many of his early tests he tested his skin against x-rays, seeing his skeleton highlighted against his flesh except for when he held a piece of lead, which blocked the rays.

Effects[]

This artifact can let the user see the inside of a dead body in a x-ray composition, but flashing light in the artifact allows a projection of what the user sees. The user’s skin will slowly lose its opacity, allowing light to enter through and see their organs and skeleton.
