Artifact Sheet: Mirror of Tashir – Reflection of the True Self
1. General Concept
The Mirror of Tashir is one of the most enigmatic relics in the Maziramy mythos. Forged in the labyrinths of Fez by mystics who sought both truth and survival, it is not a simple mirror but a vessel of revelation. Unlike ordinary mirrors, which only reflect appearances, the Mirror of Tashir reveals essence. It shows the soul, the intentions, the fractures of envy, and the purity of devotion. To those who stand before it, lies are stripped bare.
It is said the mirror was created during a time of shadow wars, when the greatest danger was deception and falsehood. Where swords could not protect, the mirror did—by unveiling truth.

2. Appearance
* Frame: Silver carved with Arabic calligraphy, sacred verses of balance, and sigils resembling constellations.
* Surface: Smooth as water, shimmering in layers. At times it reveals multiple overlapping reflections: the person, their shadow-self, and their possible future.
* Detail: Cracks of light run faintly across the glass, glowing when someone before it harbors deceit.
* Aura: A low hum resonates, like distant chanting, when truth is revealed.

3. Powers & Abilities
* Revelation of Intent: Exposes true motives of mortals, jinn, and immortals alike.
* Illusion Breaker: Shatters false images, enchantments, and weak curses, dispelling them into mist.
* Spiritual Duel: Forces the bearer to confront their own shadow-self. This duel is internal but decisive; only those who emerge reconciled can use the mirror’s higher powers.
* Seal of Reflection: Can trap fragments of corrupted spirits within its glass, imprisoning them until released or purified.

4. Role in the Story
The Mirror of Tashir is not just a tool but a trial. For Euryeth, it serves as both ally and adversary. It reveals his vampiric hunger, his doubts, his rage—forcing him to see what he could become if benevolence falters. Yet by mastering the mirror, he learns balance.
It is also pivotal against foes like Nazar, whose curse of envy collapses in front of its light. Where the evil eye seeks to project malice, the Mirror of Tashir reflects it back, magnifying it upon its wielder.

5. Symbolism
The Mirror of Tashir symbolizes self-awareness and divine reflection. To look upon it is to accept accountability before God’s gaze. Those who fear truth shatter it instantly. Those who embrace truth find their vision sharpened and their path cleared.

6. Inspirations
* Rooted in Moroccan mystical traditions of mirrors used in Sufi practices for reflection of the soul.
* Tied to Mediterranean belief in mirrors as gateways between worlds.
* Symbolically linked to Islamic concept of muraqabah (self-observation before God).

✨ Summary: The Mirror of Tashir is more than a relic—it is a trial of self. It empowers Euryeth and his allies not by giving new strength, but by forcing them to wield truth as their greatest weapon.
