A very useful artifact - only if it can be used appropriately, however.

Sepia-Toned Globe

Effects

Spinning the globe counter-clockwise releases a fiery inferno from the Equator, whilst spinning it clockwise releases blasts of freezing air that can encase anything in ice from the North and South Poles.

Downsides

The sheer physical manipulation of this artifact in order to use it effectively and without injuring ones self is hard to master.

Appearance

A classic globe with a mahogany wood base and gold inlay.

Creation

As the famous poet Robert Frost wrote his piece 'Fire and Ice', he absentmindedly spun the globe sitting nearby. Somehow combining the magic of the words with the kinetic motion of itself, the globe gained its special abilities.

Collection

A man in New Jersey was found burnt to a crisp in his office, despite there being no fireplace nor heating element in the room. To further arouse suspicions, a neat ring of fire damage lined itself all across the room. A responding officer on the scene was then frozen solid after a 'sudden gust of wind' burst into the room. Though the artifact was briefly stolen by an intruiged and disgruntled employee of the first man to rob a bank, he eventually recieved first degree burns from the ice and heat that kept hitting him whenever he used the artifact improperly, and was caught by Agents Bering, Lattimer, and Calecer.

Abilities

Spinning the globe counter-clockwise releases a fiery inferno, emanating from the Equator line of the globe. Holding the globe by its base and 'arm' allows the holder to avoid the fire. Spinning the globe clockwise, however, releases gusts of icy wind from the South and North Poles on the globe, which can freeze solid any object in seconds. The entire sphere itself experiences fluxuations in temperature depending on the mode of the globe used, but this is usually only a few degrees, hardly noticeable compared to its more noticable temperature creations.
