Charged Viking Cursed Metal

A jagged fragment of corroded metal found half-buried in sand at Maidens Point beach by Jean and Phyllis. Its surface carries an unnatural electric charge that makes skin tingle, signaling the dormant Viking curse buried in the Cold War-era coastal base. Initially, it was given to Gayev as 'tangible proof' of a killer, but later discovered to be part of the same cursed entity that alerts to the Viking supernatural presence. Contains remnant metallic origins from the same larger object referenced across both entities.
