Artifact The Watcher's Watch

The Watcher's Watch​

neutral — pocket watch — unclaimed​

Appearance:
If not for the massive glass eye embedded in the center of the pocket watch's case, the Watcher's Watch would be almost indistinguishable from any other antique gold pocket watch. It is made of solid gold, making it quite expensive, and the 'glass' that domes over the eye beneath appears to be made of some sort of tough crystal - diamond, perhaps.

Within, the clock functions just as any other clock does. There is a second, minute, and hour hand, twelve symbols for each of the hours, and a clear white background to make the black detailing stand out.

When activated, the pocket watch's eye comes to life, looking about and blinking in the same fashion as a real eye might. The movements are unsettling, and those able to see it might be disturbed by the perceived intelligence behind the movements.

Origins:
This pocket watch was created by the Watcher, someone who's name has appeared in so many different obscure and ancient historical texts that many scholars believe them to be a long-dead member of an ancient civilization that predated even the Rakata: the Celestials. Thanks to its ancient origins, the Watcher's Watch has exchanged many hands and has belonged to hundreds if not thousands of people since the death of its original owner.

Rumors of Location:
Many prolific pocketwatch collectors have attempted to obtain this watch for their own collections, and the watch is famous within the pocketwatch collecting community for the fact that it still works after eons of existence.

— Function.

The pocket watch allows the user to slow the movements of all those around them within a 10-meter radius. This effect takes place within seconds of activating the artifact, forcing its will strongly upon those nearby. It lasts thirty seconds or the full rotation of the second hand.

This item is not allowed to be used in PvP.

Intent:
To create a decently powerful Force artifact that is accessible and usable to Force users of all levels.

The limitations you've placed on it seem adequate, but I will keep an eye on this one just to make sure it isn't abused even though it cannot be used in PvP.

Approved.
