Odin's Globe

Odin's Globe is a fictional artifact that appears in Norse Mythology. Described with different magical attributes in Norse folklore, the common details include is silver color and Immense power. Odin had the globe forged by dwarven brothers to help create safe-passage between Asgard and other realms after the Son's of Iylid damaged the rainbow bridge. The artifact was created to forge an intense BOND between those traveling to and from Asgard and protect them from enemies and elements of the nine-realms. Throughout the folklore, the artifact has also been described, loosely speaking, as sentient. It grows with its bearer over time to protect them and amplify their talents and abilities. When "activated", the artifact encircles its possessor to create an impenetrable shield.

Literature

The artifact, known as Mjølnir, is ascribed the following powers: protection, luck, minor telepathy, slow or speed up time, willpower, support, empathy, understanding, wits, health. The globe, much like Thor's Hammer, can only be wielded by the worthy. The unworthy can hold the artifact in their possession, but it will not do anything for the possessor. In the poem, ""Loki's Lunar Lover"", Loki comes into possession of the artifact. Unable to wield its power, Loki tricked the dwarves to modify the artifact to mark the worthy with ash to dirty their good intentions. The demigod Freyr used the artifact to keep his mental faculties when he traveled to the ninth realm, he later planted the globe with tree saplings to speed their growth.

On the third day. The artifact begins to bind with its bearer.
