Unfortunately, that's not the backstory I have for The Phantom Ruby. Also involves some Elemental Surge backstory.

"''The Elemental Surge, originally known as The Crystal of Life, is the youngest of the three, just slightly predating the creation of The Cataclysm Machine. It was created to keep life in balance- by creating it, modifying it or destroying it through manipulation of the matter types used in the multiverse. However, it was later repurposed into control over the basic forces of the multiverse and the universes within. When The Red Dragon rebelled, The Elemental Surge was given by a creator to an individual from the current multiverse, with the following commands: "Keep it safe from everyone. Let nobody know of it, and in turn I will grant you peace" Of course, the individual didn't listen, and instead created a cult dedicated to the stupid gem, acting like it was their god or something. Skip ahead a couple hundred thousand years, and we get to a few hundred years ago. Whilst the cult was using the gem to create golems, a conspirator snuck up to the gem whilst it was unguarded and stole it. Without their original form of summoning minions, the cult struck a deal with a demon to create a new gem for summoning life- they should have been more careful with whom they struck the deal with! The result of this deal is the Phantom Ruby- a mind-controlling object that warps the users perception of reality around itself.''"
