I really hope there is an option beyond "use them" or "put them in the bank". I wouldn't feel comfortable with either. They need to be locked away where they cannot cause issues, or destroyed.

I dunno. The scepter maybe, but I don't know much of it. But theres not much you can uncorrupt from a living heart or a crown made of human bone.

The lore is pretty thin:

Legend says the Scepter of Dread will cause all who gaze upon it to fall to the ground in fear. Others claim that if such an artifact existed, then the Obsidians of old, would have wielded it to consolidate their dominion over Novia. Since none have seen it, it remains the stuff of legend and rumor.

The Heart of Sorrows is a legendary item rumored to be a powerful artifact of the ancient world. Some say it is a powerful weapon capable of driving foes into deep despair. Others say that it is a cursed item, that serves only to cause the one who possesses it to become lost in sadness.

The Dread Artifacts each grant a unique and powerful spell that allows the Avatar to wield great power but over time will require great sacrifices (see details below).

Dread Artifacts: As Avatars complete the three paths of Truth, Love, and Courage they acquire the three Dread Artifacts that provide great power, and bring great doom to all who would wield them. They even brought down the mighty Titans! In Release 44, Avatars can choose to rule the battlefield with these incredible totems of power that give the Avatar a unique spell. Casting that spell requires a unique reagent and for Release 44 you will only have one reagent for each artifact so choose wisely when you cast the spell. In Release 45 you will be able to gain more reagents but the only way to acquire them will be to sacrifice yourself at one of the Colossus statues. By sacrificing yourself you “die” and a little bit of you decays away. This is expressed by the death penalty being incurred without you actually dying.

Heart of Sorrows and Wave of Sorrows: Wearing the Heart of Sorrows (a necklace) gives you the ability to cast the spell Wave of Sorrows. This sad spell causes all enemies in a huge radius around the caster to fall down weeping (an AOE stun that will also include a weeping animation in R45).

Bone Steel Crown and Cloud of Wasting: Wearing the Bone Steel Crown allows you to cast the spell Cloud of Wasting which drains the life and focus of all around the caster in a huge radius.

Scepter of Dread and Blast of Dread: Wielding the Scepter of Dread allows players to cast the Blast of Dread spell which knocks back and knocks down everyone in a large cone in front of the caster.

Lets hope this cannot be abused.
If people died before, the sacrifice wont be that much from the actual math of decay afaik.
So it should be allways the maximum of Ddecay to get another reagent.
