Animus Speculum

The Animus Speculum is a bulky helm that is the Culexus Temple Assassin's primary killing tool, as well as the apparatus by which they control their incredibly disturbing anti-psyker aura. Packed with sensors and techno-arcane circuitry designed to enhance and help control the assassin's gifts, the Animus Speculum is an elongated helmet with a stylised skull face plate. Bulky apparatus that appear to be Auspex arrays are connected to each side of the head via thick cables and the whole thing is, along with its obvious utility, designed to look as monstrous as possible to strike fear into the hearts of the assassin's enemies. The helmet also acts as a rebreather, and has a sophisticated built-in auspex system that mimics the abilities of an Omni-scope. Along with these systems, the Animus Speculum possesses other notable functions:
 * Psyocculum - The inbuilt psyocculum allows the assassin to clearly see individuals and objects obscured by psychic powers.
 * Arcane Eye - This blast of potent negative energy inflicts terrible damage on Psykers, Daemons and psychically active creatures, but causes no damage to mundane targets. The Arcane Eye of the Animus Speculum draws much of its power from nearby psykers.
