Further studies showed that other organic tissues are fused deep inside. The stem doesn't hold any useful properties. On the contrary, the small pins reduce the temperature of the user's body and cools all objects in their vicinity. This artefact offers slight psy-protection as it will resonate under the influence of psy-waves.

		<text>This artefact is formed in anomalous zones with intense thermal activity. Actively consumes heat and remains cool at all times. It will also protect the user against electrical currents. On the other hand, exposure to such environments makes the artefact increase conductivity due to unknown mechanisms. This artefact is also highly sought after by jewelers outside the Zone as its inner core is not radioactive and considered to be of exceptional beauty if polished and refined. Only the first 1cm of its outer layer emits radiation. It is, however, highly advised to proceed with caution when planning to bring the artefact to the market as prolonged exposure to even minimal amounts of radioactive materials can result in the death of the user. Relatively heavy and dense.\n \n

It has a unique property: a constant temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit/24 degrees Celsius, regardless of its surroundings. This allows it to absorb heat from its vicinity and to create a little pocket around the user which prevents the fire from damaging the body. A dangerous effect of this artefact is that it will increase electrical conductivity, so the probability of electrocution while wearing it is much higher, especially during storms and in the vicinity of electrical anomalies.

It also has a stable temperature regardless of its surroundings. This allows it to absorb heat from its vicinity and to create a little pocket around the user which prevents fire from damaging the body. Bubble also possesses a hefty negative property as it greatly amplifies the effects of psy-waves as well as fields produced by mutants and anomalies. This disadvantage is not to be taken lightly as some stalkers have reported that the psy influence was so potent when in possession of a Bubble that they felt their heads cracking from the inside and the only thing they could do was scream in pain and run as far as they could.\n \n

It can be found most commonly in or near electro anomalies and is able to smooth fluctuations in electric field density, acting as a weak resistor, protecting the wearer from electricity and reducing its damaging effects. On the other hand, it should be noted that the presence of this artefact increases the corrosiveness of acids, leading to accelerated deterioration of equipment and higher damage to the tissues of organisms.\n \n

Only the yellow outer shell of the artefact appears to give off radiation and by careful processing, it is possible to extract the non-radioactive blue parts for jewellery and other industrial purposes as, if cleaned properly and polished, they look strikingly like sapphires. Because of this, they are sought-after by jewelers all over the world. The usefulness of the artefact, however, is not limited to its industrial applications. There is scientific evidence suggesting that the sapphire-like stones effectively protect from psy-waves, whereas the outer shell slightly increases resistance to toxicity. However, it can cause objects in its vicinity to heat up and in extreme cases to ignite along with the artefact. It is incredibly dense and is known to be one of the heaviest anomalous creations in the Zone.\n \n

		<text>Being a rare artefact, little is known about its properties and origins. Black Spray shares a similar shape to other sapphire-like artefacts. However, the organic nature of the stem (which shares similar properties to Pin artefacts) suggests that it is formed from vascular plants under exposure to dangerous psy-fields and electromagnetic waves. Another unique property is the ability to delay the transmission of light that enters it. This mysterious mechanism is applied to psy-waves surrounding the artefact as well. For this particular reason, Black Spray significantly neutralizes psy-interferences in a large radius. These beneficial properties, however, come at a price. This artefact is extremely dangerous when used in toxic environments as it amplifies their effect and increases their potency. When exploring toxic areas, it is hence highly recommended to keep the artefact in your backpack. Due to the beautiful blue aura it emits, it is highly sought after by jewelers all over the world.\n \n

However, the said field in Full Empty is extraordinary: all atoms entering the centre, regardless of their nature, become interactive under the unknown effects of the field, thus releasing photons of light. Scientists usually refer to it as the "galaxy effect", which gives the artefact an exceptional orbit of light. The density increment of the surrounding air is higher comparing to Empty. Because of this, the artefact is incredibly dense. Being a superior artefact to Empty, the protection against physical impacts is remarkable.

		<text>This glowing artefact can generate a locally directed low-gravity field. Widely used by stalkers along with Gravi, a similar artefact, to increase maximum load. Due to its beautiful inner core, it is highly sought after by jewellers all over the world, however it is best to proceed with caution as unskilled treatment can cause the artefact to explode with power sufficient to level a small building. It is thus highly advised to perform the polishing by means of specialized machinery which minimizes the probability of an explosion. Only the outer core of the artefact emits radiation. Nightstar will also absorb toxic and chemical agents from the environment, making it a valuable artefact for artefact hunters, even though the amount of toxicity absorbed is negligible. It is, however, relatively cheap and even stalkers with pretty tight budgets can afford it. That being said, Nightstar emits odour of burning flesh when in the closest proximity of heat source.

Thanks to the meticulous research that followed, it was established that this new artefact is produced when three Gravi artefacts interact and combine singularity fields. This phenomenon is extremely rare, and this artefact is highly valuable for this reason. The artefact creates a constant anti-gravitational singularity field, reducing the weight of all objects in its proximity. However, the velocity of moving objects inside its radius will rapidly increase up to dangerous levels.

The needles of the artefact also cause small but quick-healing wounds which bring a discomfort and itch, thus reducing stamina. This artefact also weakens protection against heat and acids due to its high flammability.\n \n

		<text>Firefly interacts with fields unknown to science, considerably speeding up the regeneration of tissue and organs in living organisms, as well as normalizing metabolic processes. This artefact can get a badly wounded stalker back on his feet in a matter of minutes. On the other hand, Firefly can spontaneously combust when exposed to potent radioactive sources and will weaken the body during healing processes as it reduces the number of platelets in the bloodstream, increasing bleed rate. It also seems to drain stamina and decrease stamina recovery. Some of those who used Firefly for its healing purposes have reported that they couldn't walk for hours afterwards.\n \n

		<text>A very rare artefact. It's been several years since one was found. It can locate gaps in anomaly fields and is believed that it can help traverse the most complex anomaly fields completely unharmed. However, very few know how to handle it properly. It can interact with moving objects, causing some to completely disappear or perhaps teleport. It also weakens the body by draining stamina and increasing bleeding rate. But the biggest draw however, is the dangerous radiation output this artefact emits. Holding this artefact near the body will cause death in a matter of minutes.\n \n

		<text>This artefact was found at the centre of the legendary Oasis. It appears that the Heart is a crystallised plant, which has acquired the healing properties of the Oasis. Not only does it dramatically increases recovery rate of wounds and healing processes, it also provides the body with a strong source of energy. It is a true miracle. That being said, Oasis is very sensitive to outer sources of energy and its surrounding environment. For this reason, interacting with anomaly fields will bring death to the holder.\n \n

	<string id="st_af_death_lamp_descr">
		<text>"Big, red and cursed." This is how the locals prefer to describe the Death Lamp, while some refer to it as the "Seed of Satan". Many traders believe the rumours surrounding the artefact, thus refusing to buy it. Little is known about its origins, and nothing of value has been discovered so far. Death Lamp was first discovered a few years ago by a group of three experienced stalkers. Shortly after delivering the artefact to the Ecologists in Yantar, two of them were found dead with a horrific expression on their face. Nothing is known about the fate of the third stalker. Following the accident, members of the science team who studied the artefact had reported having nightmare disorder in the days to follow. Apart from the mysterious effects, the artefact drains vitality and willpower from the user, often on such a scale that it induces dizziness and in extreme cases causes the user to faint.\n \n

		<text>The origins of artefacts such as this one are a mystery, as they are rarely found outside the northernmost parts of the Zone. This unique artefact projects a non-contact field that inhibits nearby anomalous phenomena. This grants the wearer a notable level of protection against most of the Zone's environmental hazards. It is also one of the few active artefacts that can be safely handled without lead containers. However, when you hold it your flesh feels dry and flaky, your bones hard and stiff, the ligaments in your joints squeaky and brittle. Thick armor or great supernatural vitality would be needed by anyone intending to wear this artefact into battle.
