R-3665

 Relic #:  R-3665

 Safety class:  β

 Usage class:  Weapon

 Physical description:  None.

 Anomalous properties:  R-3665 is a weapon usable only by thinking about using it, as it has no physical form. However, R-3665 still makes a physical effect on the world. It can first be activated by seeing a description of its mechanism.

Through trial and error, Researcher 2595 has determined the "commands" which must be thought to use R-3665 after it has been activated:

"Fire" -- Small glowing blue balls of electricity immediately appear in front of the user, launching from the user's line of sight. In 0.01% of uses, these projectiles can suddenly explode and create a surge of electricity.

"Hide" -- People stop being aware of the user's existence in an area for up to 1 minute. If the full period expires without the thought of "Unhide", the user returns with wounds inflicted by blunt force. The reason for this is unknown.

"Track [target]" -- The user has a sudden sense of direction towards the target. In some cases, the direction is completely opposite of the target.

"Bludgeon [target]" -- The perception of the target is bludgeoned. Although the target themselves has no harm inflicted, everyone thinks they have been harmed and responds like they would if the target was actually bludgeoned.

Documents on R-3665's workings are immediately forgotten if outside the vaults. Any attempted description combusts (or spawns a fire in case of speech).

 Special safety notes:  Document-3665 is kept in an isolation chest, as R-3665 cannot be directly contained. Do not attempt to distribute this if not given permission by Researcher 2595 and ####.

 History:  R-3665 was created by researchers 2595 and #### in a team effort to create an "invisible weapon".

"The following document is an outline to the conceptual weapon created by me and 2595 as a proof-of-concept. This document is also imbued with ideatic triggers such that understanding its contents will allow one to use this weapon."
