Amulet of Voodoo: A high-quality wicker amulet from the Samadi Swamp on Earth-7954, where voodoo and mysticism is the dominant way of life.

It is unknown what if any limitation the gem has in terms of temperature, but it may be unlimited, making this artifact
extremely dangerous. Currently stored in the vaults of Mage Wrudian in the Kingdom of Ucari.

(Added 9/29/19)Rosalie Brown's Wishing Ring:
(Added 1/23/2020)One of countless artifacts disgorged from The Sea during the Sargassian Eruption. This one found its way to Earth-31944, the home universe of Edward "Comics" McCormick and his girlfriend Rosalie Brown. This seemingly innocuous silver ring is set with a mysterious gem containing a spirit. When Rosalie first put on the ring, she was informed by the spirit that his name was Sentyne, and that he had been imprisoned for a very long time. He was not a Jinn, but had the power to grant an unlimited number of wishes. Rosalie was warned to follow the rules and to not let the ring fall into the wrong hands:
--Cannot kill anyone except in self-defense or the defense of another.
--Cannot make anyone fall in love with yourself or another.
--Cannot do anything that forces someone to do anything. Free will is off-limits.
--Cannot break the laws of physics.
--Cannot travel through time.
--Cannot wish for immortality.
--Cannot wish to be invincible.
--Cannot wish for unlimited knowledge.
--Cannot wish for unlimited power.
--Something cannot be created from nothing. If you wish for a chili dog with all the trimmings, the ingredients will be pulled from the nearest location, possibly constituting long-range theft. The range includes all of Totality if necessary.
---You cannot wish for something that does not exist. This includes something that has not been created yet or no longer exists, as this requires forbidden time travel.
--Wishing for unlimited money is not against the rules, but it cannot be created from nothing and will be summoned from elsewhere. Robbing all of Totality would be very rude...and your planet would be promptly smashed into oblivion by every piece of physical denomination in existence. Sentyne would then reverse the wish and send all of the money back where it came from.
--Wishing for unlimited anything to be honest, as Sentyne will take it literally and you'll get demolished by every instance of what you asked for.
--Cannot raise the dead unless they want to live again. The consequence of breaking this rule will create a flesh-eating zombie. The body of the deceased or their cremains must be intact or all in one place. It is also highly discouraged to bring evil individuals back to life...for obvious reasons. Duh.
--All wishes are final. Only Sentyne can reverse them of his own free will.

The mouth will open and reveal a swirling red vortex, into which the soul of the attacker will be contained after being wrenched from the body. Only the defeat of the wielder of the Shield of Soulstealing will set the soul free to return to its host, providing that the body is still alive.
(3/19/2020)Shoes of Home: When not owned, the shoes are blank grey and generic like a prototype, but will morph to the shoe size of the wearer upon being claimed, though the color and design will always be silver with a gingham pattern. Placing the shoes side-by-side and thinking of the place you call home will immediately return you there, provided you have been to the location and it still exists. The Shoes of Home were found on the feet of an old hermit woman (believed by locals to be a witch) crushed under a house after an F5 tornado ravaged the area.
(10/3/19)Shoes of the Wolf: A pair of self-adjusting shoes seemingly made out of wolf fur and hide.

Temple Guardians.
(5/18/2021)Skull of Radiance: A humanoid skull that, when held, emits beams of brilliant light from the eyes and mouth. This light is only visible to the wielder and those around them that have good intentions. If someone near the wielder cannot see the light from the skull, it means they have ill intentions and cannot be trusted.
(2/23/2021)Skull of Transformation: One of the components required to invoke the powers of the Tree of Shape-shifting. The skull is placed in a hollow in the trunk of the tree.

Spear of Recoil:
(Added 3/19/2020)Specter Mantle:

This dangerous artifact was found in the abandoned ruins of what appears to have been a school, located on Earth-3312018.
(5/1/2021)Stabacus I-IV: (Added 9/6/19)
Four broadswords originating on Earth-180900. All were wielded in battle (usually at the same time) by Sir Vival, a Tardigrada noble and battle enthusiast. When
Stabacus is sheathed, the beads are all shifted to one side and cannot be moved. Only when the ever-sharp blade tastes blood does the sword's power activate. For each foe Sir Vival took down in battle, a bead would shift to the right. When the battle was over and won, the victorious warrior would know his bodycount for the day. If the number exceeded the number of beads on Stabacus, the correct number would show up at the base of the blade in glowing red.
Sir Vival's long undefeated streak came to an end at the Battle of Shadowhurst. He crossed paths with the demonic warlord Grannibalg, who wielded the infamous Meteoric Club of Absorb Matter. Grannibalg struck three of Sir Vival's swords, absorbing them (and their power) into his own weapon. Utterly shocked at his defeat, Vival learned just how cruel Grannibalg would be. The demon picked up Stabacus IV, the only one to avoid being absorbed, and used it to pin Sir Vival to the ground. The last sound the overconfident warrior heard was the clack of a bead as his own weapon claimed its last victim.

(12/9/19)Viper's Boots: A pair of combat boots once owned by the mercenary known only as Viper. When activated, the toes of the boot open like a snake's mouth, revealing two highly venomous fangs. The snake mouth seems to be extra-dimensional, as Viper's foot is not visible.
(11/18/20)Viper's Scythe: A venom-tainted scythe wielded by the mercenary Viper. A target cut by this weapon's blade will die a truly agonizing death.
(11/18/20)Zapper Pistol: Essentially a high-tech and more efficient taser. It fires a focused bolt of electricity into the target without the need for wires or getting up close.
