Heart of Mal'i is a Cypher of equipment in Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Description[ | ]

The pendant is composed of lead, set with a heart-shaped indentation filled with a green liquid. No matter how you turn the object, the acidic-smelling solution does not tip out. The liquid seems to gently slosh as if it had a will of its own. When placed against skin, the metal grows warm and sizzles gently until it becomes fused, though it causes no damage. It can easily be peeled off without leaving more than a mild blister. While bonded with the pendant, the wearer feels a sensation of contentment, tinged with childlike wonder and confusion at the shape and nature of the world. The item seems to hold some manner of charge - one that slowly builds through the tick of time and ages.
