Effigy (MTR)

Effigy is the Hekau art of symbolic connections, usually expressed in small figures known as Ushabti. They utilize sympathetic connections between the Effigy to utilize it in the realms of the living and the dead alike, similar to Relics and Phylacteries.

Similar to Amulets, Effigies have to be hand-crafted. Unlike an amulet, an effigy usually requires an expenditure of Sekhem every time someone uses it. The mummy's player spends this Sekhem immediately upon activation and periodically thereafter in order to continue using it. If an effigy is denied its supply of required Sekhem at any point, the object returns to its inactive state immediately. An effigy crafted in the shape of a creatures looks like a small statue, but it grows to resemble an actual living animal when it's activated.
