Life Taker
This was a bad idea— started as a mirror maker, with an embedded noise faker. Got nicknamed a life shaker, truly a half-assed dream baker, though some call it a soul scraper. Certified cruelty, leveled up as a mind taker. Backpedaled a bit, rebranded to a dream shaker, a goddamn Rembrandt-like art faker. This jinxed mirror breaker, used now as a political noise maker. Finest form? A life taker.
