Medallion

A medallion is an item appearing in the series Sonic Underground. They are royal artifacts given to Sonic, Manic and Sonia when they were born.

They appear to be made of a glass or clear/white crystal like material that resemble musical instruments and have the power to transform into its respective instrument when the wearer touches them in a blast of colored light. The power of these medallions can only be unlocked when the siblings achieve harmony with one another and later were able to use their medallions power freely.

Abilities
When in instrument state, they can be used as traditional musical instruments, or can be used as powerful weapons in combat for self-defense. However the use of the instruments, for either combat or music, costs power and after use the instruments will return into its medallion state to "recharge".

An important use for these artifacts in medallion state is there ability to free the mind of those roboticized, this is done when the power of the medallions is directy forced to the robian through a stream of energy that overcomes the mind control and frees the conscious. However this process uses a lot of medallion energy and the effects are only temporary as after awhile the mind will be roboticized again.
