cover

The Amulet of Right is one of two items that is offered to potential "Captain Britain"s; the other item is the Sword of Might. The items are offered by Merlin and his daughter, Roma. Depending on what item the candidates choose, it will affect the users costume and powers.

It is sometimes called the Amulet of Life.

When the chosen touches the mystic stone that has lain untouched within the seige perilous for a thousand years, a bolt of pures energy arcs across the face of the Universe to strike home a moment later.

"Rejoice, my son, for thou hast chosen the Amulet of Right o'er the Sword of Might! Therefore, let there be beauty and strength --power and compassion-- honour and humility, mirth and reverence -- within you... Be one with thy brothers of the Round Table --with Arthur and Lancelot, Gawain and Galahad, with them all..." -- Roma
