Reader's Guide

This artifact operates under the specific magical laws governing the Flying Dutchman crew. To utilize its power, the bearer must hold the coin while speaking the name of the captain or crew member bound to it. It does not summon them physically at will, as they are bound by their duty to the sea and the dead. However, it creates a spiritual tether that allows for communication or presence during critical moments. Only those with a deep emotional connection to the bearer can truly feel its resonance. Elizabeth wields this coin not as a weapon, but as a lifeline. It is kept safe within her personal effects, often hidden in a locket or pouch. Its power diminishes if used for selfish gain; it thrives on genuine need and love.
