What do you think of when you think Black Obelisk? Do you think of the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III? The Russian metal band Black Obelisk? or do you think of the Robert Ervin Howard horror short from 1931 entitled "The Black Stone?
Usually the last one comes to mind, don't get me wrong, the stone mentioned in that story is actually a monolith and not an obelisk, but it still suggets to me the idea of an inanimate object possessing great evil. I have no idea of how I can use it in my idea for the Black Sciences, but I can say for a fact that when I do apply it to my sci-fi ideas, that it will be a great source of evil and possibly a great scourage on all living things.
