Item from RWBY by Rooster Teeth
One of four divine artifacts — a golden lamp that summons the spirit Jinn, who will answer three questions per century with absolute truth.
The Relic of Knowledge takes the form of an ornate golden lamp, intricately engraved with designs that seem to shift when viewed from different angles. It's small enough to carry on a belt but radiates a presence that makes it feel heavier than physics accounts for. When activated, the lamp summons Jinn — a massive blue female spirit who freezes time for everyone except the questioner, then provides a truthful answer to any question about past or present events. She gets three questions per hundred years. She cannot predict the future. The Relic was hidden in Haven Academy's vault, accessible only by the Spring Maiden. After Raven Branwen opened the vault, the Relic was taken by Ruby's group. Jinn was used to reveal Salem's true history — her immortality, her relationship with Ozpin, the Gods' judgment — information that shattered the group's trust in Ozpin. The lamp currently has no remaining questions for this century. It still attracts Grimm by its very nature.
A beautiful golden oil lamp with an ornate teardrop-shaped body and a long curved spout, floating gently when summoned. Glows with a warm ethereal blue light. When activated, it summons Jinn — a giant ethereal blue-skinned woman who emerges from smoke to answer three questions per century. The lamp is small enough to hang from a belt but radiates immense power. Currently depleted of questions after Team RWBY's use.
