** A museum has a jeweled amulet on display that is legendary for being the source of a local hero's power. Emperor Evulz sends some mooks out to steal it, and they do. Evulz finds out that the "jeweled amulet" was actually the hero's MagicFeather. It's technically the source of the hero's power (it was given to him by his TricksterMentor to "give him strength and courage"), but doesn't actually ''do'' anything, being nothing but a piece of cheap glass on some thin rope.
