A-019 Mist Bands

CACG Item File
Item A-019 is the designation given to a pair of intricately engraved pewter rings possessing gold and silver inlays. Through an unknown anomalous process, both rings have been rendered immune to corrosion, as well melting, physical trauma, and even crushing. Whether the engravings on them is responsible for this, or A-019's main anomalous properties, is still unknown.

Once both rings are worn by a suitable host, A-019 renders a user capable of controlling nearby spirits. This can be used in a multitude of ways, but the most common include distracting enemies, shielding oneself from harmful spiritual entities, and even minor illusions. Should the user sacrifice a portion of their vitality to the rings, they can sustain these illusions and even give them some form of corporeality. It's theorized that with enough vitality sacrificed to the rings, the user can give the spirits they control physical bodies in the form of inanimate matter, such as wood, ceramics, and rocks.

A-019 has been found to be sentient, but much of its personality is unknown. It tends to overpower all of the users it comes across, only cooperating with Operative Specter. With this being the case, A-019 is considered to be unusable without Specter available to wield it. Should Specter be rendered unable to use A-019, it's to be held at a designated high security armory in Geo-7.
