Chaos Crystal
Chaos Crystal is an artifact in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that has the ability to “Chaos Mark” creatures. To use this ability, you must first charge the crystal (it charges when the hero takes damage). The Chaos Mark can create random effects on the chosen location, such as igniting the area or releasing a gas cloud, etc. If identified, you can fix the number of charges (up to 100 maximum). If fully identified, you can fuse it with an item (requires at least 50 charges).
Description
The Chaos Crystal is a strange and powerful artifact that channels chaotic energies. It can be worn like a ring and has two main abilities: the Chaos Mark and item fusion. The crystal charges when the hero takes damage, making it a high-risk, high-reward item.
