The Relic of Knowledge

I thnk that Qrow will be very surprised when Ozcar insists that Ruby carry the Relic of Knowledge. However, when it resizes itself to fit on her belt, it becomes very apparent that she is indeed its rightful Bearer. I wonder if being around the relic will affect Ruby, vastly increasing her knowledge and thus also improving her ability to create tactics and strategies. Yang, especially, will be very disturbed if the ancient magic of the Relic starts changing her baby sister too dramatically.

What of the scene where a frightened Ruby is holding the Relic protectively whilst Yang, Weiss and Blake are about to mess up Oscar badly? I'm wonderiing if, like a certain Ring, only certain ones, destined Bearers, can hold the Relics without being corrupted by its power. Oscar is still young enough that he is haivng a hard time resisting the Relic's Call and tries to snatch it from Ruby, only to get a face-full of Yang's prosthetic fist and Weiss and Blake ready to make jerky of him.

Even hurting and with Ruby quite terrified of his savage need for the Relic, Oscar can't stop begging for just one more touch. So you think Oscar will turn into RWBY's version of Gollum?

Also, I'd actually be very interested to see Ruby become cold and calculating to the point of putting logic before emotion and reasoning. Also, the thought of her using big complicated words and talking like a robot would be funny to me. (In a gallows humor sort of way...)
