Name: H.E.A.R.T.H.
Grade: Artifact (+)
Type: Item (Successor Lineage Item)
Proof of Acquisition: This olde one...
Description:
What was once the Yasakani no Tama is now a part of Terumi's body and soul. It does manifest though as a stylized "tattoo" (or "sigil", as she prefers) of the symbol of "Fire" in the Midijin Bagua Trigram, three horizontal lines arranged one above another, but with the middle line broken in two. It is "stylized" in the sense that, instead of straight lines, the two outer lines at the top and bottom of the symbol have been curved to form a circular design (like a circle with two opposite areas on its circumference removed to create two identical arcs, one curving upwards, and the other downwards), and instead of the broken line in the middle of the other two horizontal bars, the two short bars have been rounded into two small circles. Terumi calls it H.E.A.R.T.H.: Hazard Effect Azoth for Replicating Titan Hardware. She gave it this name based on the very first demonstration of its power with respect to her magic (which you may see in one of her magic spells), although it has modified her primary magic in quite a number of other ways.
The H.E.A.R.T.H. sigil is positioned on the inner side of her lower left arm, but is normally invisible, hidden from observers. However, whenever she uses its power, or the magic associated with it (the Fire Titan Slayer magic), it glows an amethyst color... unless she does not wish to reveal that she is using magic, in which case it remains invisible. So, yes, its visibility is based on Terumi's whims. The azoth is not located on her lower arm, as people who notice it believe, but more accurately exists in her blood. It more or less still functions like the Yasakani no Tama of before, save that it is now a part of her, and helps her better monitor and even store information during heated moments, which can later be fed directly to her brain when she is in a more relaxed state. It also still has its telepathic signals, which can be used for communication and pacification. Perhaps as a result of now being one with her, Terumi seems to be more in control of her berserk states.
Abilities:
Name: Tamashi no Go (Language of the Soul)
Rank: S
Category: Auxiliary (Equipment Ability)
Type: Passive
Description: The ability of the H.E.A.R.T.H. to send telepathic messages to Terumi helps advise her on the best ways to utilize her magic, not to mention that its potential as a power source is directly connected to Terumi’s magic power pool. This translates as a passive 60% increase to magic power (MP).
Plot Ability: Terumi can use the Hidama to broadcast telepathic messages to anyone within her burst rank spell range. These messages can be as simple as a thought suggestion, to complex audio-visual information relays. She can also connect many people together psychically, so as to have a sort of telepathic conference call, and can even set up the “venue” in whatever way she desires. While people can interact with each over such a channel, physical harm cannot be carried out on another person using the psychic link.
Name: Megami no Onkei (Blessing of a Goddess)
Rank: S+
Category: Auxiliary (Equipment Ability)
Type: Passive
Description: The H.E.A.R.T.H. has a calming effect on Terumi, helping her to stay in control of her senses, and not go overboard when she is incensed. This soothing influence helps her to manage her magic power more effectively, translating as a passive 95% boost to MP.
Plot Ability: The calming effect of the Megami no Onkei is a gift that Terumi may involuntarily share with others. Her presence alone is comforting and relaxing (especially as long as she is not ruffled herself), her healing spells also grant respite to the mind, and she is able to defuse a hostile situation more easily than most people. The efficacy of this ability on player characters, player controlled NPCs and important or event NPCs is dependent on the individual(s) controlling these characters OOCly. It has been agreed by many that simply standing close to Terumi feels like a breath of fresh wind on a stifling day, or like a cheery bonfire on a frigid night.
Name: Tengan (Divine Eye)
Rank: H
Category: Auxiliary (Auxiliary Successor Ability)
Type: Passive
Description: The H.E.A.R.T.H., having sensory device properties, helps Terumi manage her use of Ethernano with respect to the environment. As a result, she has become an expert at managing every little drop, rather than wasting magic power like most people actually do. Combat-wise, this is represented as a passive 65% boost to magic power (MP). The H.E.A.R.T.H. generates a sensory field, which takes accurate note of things hidden even from advanced senses, such as Ethernano flow, temperature alterations, ectoplasmic distortions and extrasensory influences, and can identify things even through walls and other obstructions. This gives Terumi an advanced sensory ability even more powerful than the natural sensory power of the average mage, and she can navigate or react with pinpoint accuracy to external stimuli even if she is robbed of her natural senses. So as not to be constantly distracted, this ability can be turned on and off, though the H.E.A.R.T.H. will alert Terumi once it senses something important. It also takes detailed recordings, so that Terumi may review past occurrences that she was hitherto unaware of, at her convenience. Magical spells, abilities and techniques that are meant to conceal or hide their targets may be able to escape undetected by the Tengan, only if they are on a lower rank than her ability.

Description:
- History:
- Originally, this item was known as the Yasakani no Tama, named after one of the treasures of the goddess Amaterasu. However, unknown to its holder, Terumi, the Tama was actually her "influence", coalesced so tightly that it became a glowing lacrima sphere called an "azoth". She believed it to be an "otherworldly fire", but there was no doubt the both of them had a connection.
Due to some recent, harrowing events, Terumi discovered the truth about so many things, eventually regaining some of her lost memories. She had known she was part human, part titan, but what she had not recalled was that the "Tama", as she called it then, was a part of her psyche; however, it could not directly be a part of her because her body and mind had been tampered with in a series of mutagenic experiments that left her "fractured". However, the events that restored her memory also had her subjected to a powerful mutagenic substance that was administered maliciously, with the intention of torture. Unknown to the malefactor involved, thanks to some trickery, the substance was another mutagen, actually crafted from Terumi's "unfractured" state, that forcefully transformed its target into a titan. It was normally painfully lethal to humans, as it caused swift, violent hyperplasias and hypertrophies, but in Terumi's case, a different result was achieved. The Tama was drawn into her body, acting as a sort of "guide" (thanks to the imprinted memories it stored, which she knew nothing of) that directed her altering DNA sequences back to their previous state.
