Mystic urn
From DoomWiki.org
A mystic urn found in E2M6: The Labyrinth.
The mystic urn is an artifact in Heretic and Hexen. It looks like a grey urn with a golden ankh on it. Using a mystic urn restores the player to full health. Unlike Doom's soulsphere, it can be carried around until needed, but cannot raise the player's health above 100, which makes it similar to the berserk pack but without the pack's fist improvement power.
Like the quartz flask, on the lowest skill level, mystic urns will be used automatically if the player is about to die. Unlike the quartz flask, mystic urns will be also be used automatically in any deathmatch game, regardless of skill level.
This item is included in the item count displayed at the end of each level in Heretic.
In Heretic, when killed, the maulotaur has a ~20% chance to drop a mystic urn.
