Legends agree that Unicorn horns have magical healing and purification properties. Unicorns do this naturally -- as soon as their horn encounters scummy pond water or a festering wound, the horn's magic kicks in and does its thing. How cool is Nature?
For a cosplay Unicorn, it's not quite as intuitive to invoke the horn's magic. This horn solves that problem with another kind of magic: capacitive touch.
Decorate the horn with a beautiful vein of copper and let the purification process begin with a simple touch. The horn glows with color shifting rainbows all the time, and when someone touches the copper vein, the rainbow will fade and the horn's tip will glow a bright white, purifying everything in its vicinity. Like magic!

You will also need a unicorn horn -- you can 3d print one or make your own out of worbla, resin, or any other translucent material. Marlinspike Auger seashells make great unicorn horns too. The sky's the limit!
