About: Summoning Artifact   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Some Artifacts Of Doom are dangerous because they are evilly sentient and want to subvert you to their ends. Others are dangerous because they are keys to open a portal to some place of big bad nastiness, whether it be Hell or whatever place Eldritch Abominations come from, or because they have the power to summon the big bad nastiness into this world. This trope is about these kinds of artifacts. While this is primarily a Horror Tropes, examples that aren't malevolent can also be included here.

  • Some Artifacts Of Doom are dangerous because they are evilly sentient and want to subvert you to their ends. Others are dangerous because they are keys to open a portal to some place of big bad nastiness, whether it be Hell or whatever place Eldritch Abominations come from, or because they have the power to summon the big bad nastiness into this world. This trope is about these kinds of artifacts. Many Tomes Of Eldritch Lore are also artifacts of this kind, unleashing any number of nasty things upon the world when some poor Genre Blind fool makes the mistake of reading the book in question aloud. Other artifacts might require some other means of activation, especially if they're being used as the linchpin of some Big Bad's Evil Plan. While this is primarily a Horror Tropes, examples that aren't malevolent can also be included here. See also Artifact of Doom, Hell Gate, and Summoning Ritual. If the artifact in question is intended to summon a specific friend, as opposed to some deific supernatural entity, that's Just Whistle.
