- Inventory description

"Born in the 'Rusty Hair' and 'Ameba' anomalies. When and how it appeared - it's unknown. Initially, it was considered a trinket, suitable only for sale. But later it became known that when placed on the belt, it creates an electromagnetic field on top of the human skin, thereby absorbing a huge part of the impact force. Rare, expensive and useful - the perfect combination for the artifact. Emits radiation."
