History
The Silver Box of Ix Chel is an ancient supernatural artefact created by the Mayan deity named Xquic who also created the Key to Chak Chel. The Silver Box of Ix Chel became an important aspect of Paititi's culture. Originally in Cozumel, Manko and the escaping Mayans took the box from Cozumel to Peru to escape the Spaniards who were pursing them.

Powers

 * Temptation Inducement: Even without the Key of Chak Chel, the Silver Box itself causes the user to be subjected to temptations about their greatest desires. Often times, these temptations cause the wielders to go insane, such as the Trinity defector, Andres Lopez. Lara Croft was able to overcome her temptations by embracing her insecurities and making peace with her childhood grievances.
 * Power Bestowal: With the Key of Chak Chel inserted into the Silver Box of Ix Chel during the Sun Ritual, the artefacts can imbue the user with the power of Kukulkan. In this state, the Avatar of Kukulkan becomes insane and displays supernatural powers. In the case of Dr. Pedro Dominguez, he showcased some supernatural abilities such as superhuman strength, superhuman durability, self-teleportation and pyrokinesis.
 * Reality Recreation: With the Key of Chak Chel, the Silver Box of Ix Chel can be used to perform a ritual which shows the Silver Box's true and terrifying power. This specific ritual can only be performed during an eclipse and requires the chosen Avatar to use the power of Kukulkan to either restore the sun or reshape reality. Lara Croft used it to restore the sun.
