These ritual tools are the key to erasing the Singularity and indicating that you're a legit participant of the Ishtar Cup!
[k]

＠Ishtar
They've been designed to integrate into your vehicles,[sr]so make sure you each install them.
[k]

[charaFace A 5]
＠Ishtar
Any vehicle that tries to compete without one of these will be automatically disqualified, so make sure not to forget them!

[charaFace A 10]

Got it? Whatever you do, do NOT lose or remove it during the race. That's VERY important.
