Item from RWBY by Rooster Teeth
One of four divine artifacts — a blue staff with the power to create anything, currently sustaining Atlas's floating platform above Mantle.
The Relic of Creation is a slender blue staff that glows with internal light, elegant and deceptively simple for an object that can reshape reality. Its power is constructive — it can create anything the wielder can envision, from simple objects to complex structures, but it can only maintain one creation at a time. Creating something new undoes the previous creation. This limitation is the crisis point of Atlas. The Relic is currently sustaining the gravity platform that keeps the entire city of Atlas floating above Mantle. Using the Relic for anything else — transportation, weapons, defense — means dropping the city. When Salem's forces arrive at Atlas, this becomes an impossible choice: use the Relic to fight or flee, and kill everyone in Mantle when Atlas falls; or leave the Relic in place and fight without its power. Atlas ultimately falls when the Relic is used to evacuate the population to Vacuo, and the city crashes into Mantle.
A golden staff with an ornate head featuring curved prongs forming an open cage-like crown shape, floating with a subtle golden glow. The Relic can create anything the user can conceptualize, but each new creation cancels the previous one. Atlas itself floats because of this Relic's power — meaning using it for anything else would drop the city. Stored in the vault beneath Atlas Academy.
