Magic Tool
A Magic Tool is any kind of implement imbued with magical power. In Bolganio, there existed a great variety of magic tools, each with its own unique powers and effects.

Vessels of Sin


The Vessels of Sin are seven relics inhabited by a Demon of Sin. Passed from one individual to another over the course of history, they are responsible for many events in the history of Bolganio.

Mechanics
Wielders of the vessels can utilize the demons' variety of individual powers, ranging from changing one's appearance to conjuring streams of fire. However, the vessels' owners also risked becoming possessed by the demon, causing them to commit their corresponding vice and influencing their personality and actions. Persons with great insecurities are also especially vulnerable to being possessed. Similarly, individuals with carefree personalities are immune to being possessed.

A person can also willingly enter a contract with a demon, thus gaining full access to the demon's powers. There are a variety of ways to establish a contract with a demon, such as impaling oneself with the vessel or drinking from it. While possessed, the demon can communicate telepathically with the host.

However, a demon's true essence remains in its vessel, and sealing traps it within its vessel, although seals can be easily removed. Sealing appears to be the only way to inhibit a demon's effects, as the vessels of sin are seemingly indestructible. If a demon's vessel is in multiple fragments, the demon can freely travel between the fragments and can only be trapped if all of the fragments are sealed. Conversely, other demons can be transplanted into vacant fragments by a skilled mage using an exorcism spell. Said spell allows the user to manipulate the demons to an extent, although the demons' intentions and motivations are difficult to understand.

Originally, the demons lacked purpose and only existed to spread malice and destruction, however they eventually gained motivations by possessing numerous people. Demons are also capable of "awakening", allowing them to take on human forms. According to the playwright Ma, collecting all seven of the vessels grants the owner a wish.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The vessels are named after the Seven Deadly Sins, the cardinal sins taught in Christian ethics to help explain and elaborate upon human tendencies to commit vices that would lead to other sins.
 * Similarly, the Demons of Sin bear resemblance to the Seven Princes of Hell, powerful demons each aligned with a Deadly Sin who attempt to cause mortals to commit their sin.

Curiosities

 * According to mothy, one of the vessels of sin was once a magic tool before it was inhabited by a demon.

Venom Sword
A Jakokuese sword with the term symbolizing "Lust" inscribed on its sheath in the eastern nation's language. Under its demon's influence, the user disregards sensibility or a sense of virtue while in a love affair and acts impulsively overall. The user can also change a person's face or memory with its power. When contracted to the demon, the owner can captivate those of the opposite sex with lustful infatuation; as part of the contract, the user's libido is increased but they must also regularly ingest life energy via sexual intercourse.

Glass of Conchita
A red wine glass inhabited by the Demon of Gluttony. Those possessed by its demon have an increasingly abnormal appetite. The owner can use the glass to conjure a "Gula" pathogen that allows those killed by the infection to be reanimated as undead soldiers, obedient to the will of the vessel's holder. When contracted to the demon, the user can change their body's figure to a slimmer form and devour anything with rarely any damage to their health.

Four Mirrors of Lucifenia
Two pairs of hand mirrors inhabited by the Demon of Pride; although originally a single mirror, it was split into four individual hand mirrors. Those possessed by its demon become more confident in themselves and act increasingly arrogant and haughty. The demon can freely travel between any of its mirrors, meaning it is impossible to halt the demon's activity unless all four mirrors are sealed.

Clockworker's Doll
A clockwork doll modeled after the appearance of the Original Sinner, Eve Moonlit, inhabited by Eve as the  "Demon of Sloth". Eve originally used Mikulia Greeonio and her ancestors as its vessel before migrating to the doll. Those possessed by its demon become easily depressed, lazy, and sluggish. The Doll can cast a hypnosis upon its surroundings to make it be perceived as a normal human girl modeled in Eve's image. The hypnosis also affected Eve, causing her consciousness to "sleep" while living out the life of her current transmigration.

Kayo's Scissors
Originally the Twin Swords of Levianta, two blades inhabited by the Demon of Envy; the swords were later reforged into two pairs of scissors for its vessel. Those possessed by its demon become envious of others and obsessively covet what they have.

Marlon Spoon
A blue spoon inhabited by the Demon of Greed. Those possessed by its demon become excessively greedy and value material possessions above all else. The spoon naturally attracts wealth to itself and its owner becomes blessed with good fortune in business. The spoon can also conjure blue flames that can be manipulated to ensnare, trap, and kill targets.

Golden Key
A vessel without a definite form inhabited by the Demon of Wrath. The vessel can change shape with changes in rage, taking the form of a key or knife. Those possessed by its demon act increasingly angry or vengeful. The demon's vessel is capable of injuring the Demons of Sin and inflict damage to those possessed by them.
