The Messenger's Gift is a small, ornate trinket resembling a twisted, skeletal hand clutching a glowing, pulsating gem. The hand is crafted from dark, tarnished metal with intricate engravings of arcane symbols, while the gem emits a faint, eerie light in hues of deep purple and blue. The surface of the metal is weathered and slightly corroded, giving it an ancient and mysterious appearance. The overall design is asymmetrical, with the fingers of the hand curling protectively around the gem, creating a sense of both protection and foreboding.
