A thought that arose from a chat on the discord:
My paladin runs into canopic prisms, necromancer staves, and infernal contract items all the time. I imagine the little network of overworked trash fairies that take items away mechanically probably don't exist in-lore, and dumping an item in the trash just lets it sit there until it's collected by the little network of overworked trashman fairies that -do- exist in-lore. (Speculative)
So I got to thinking about some kind of basin or container, probably not something everyone can make rather just something sitting in, say, the Radiant Heart, or somewhere particularly good-aligned. A "magic trash can" for lack of better term that can accept evil items and either dispose of them with a little more good-aligned flair like an enchantment failed VFX when you plop the item in question in.
Maybe it spits out some components depending on what you put in, but I imagine that would be a pain to script so maybe not.
tl;dr:
Good-aligned magic trash can/purifying basin that eats bad items and plays a little vfx to release dopamine to paladin brain for getting rid of evil items.

Re: Evil Item Disposal/Magic Trash Can
This exists already in the form of actual Trash Cans. They are extremely good at disposing of whatever you put in them, instantly.
I'm the nice one.. I promise

Re: Evil Item Disposal/Magic Trash Can
See I'm torn here. On the one hand yeah, having something a little more flashy and thematic would be cool. On the other - I worry that it would also have the opposite effect? People might feel that a quick bit of flashing light in a special trashcan is entirely enough for any evil object, and would make the disposal of them /too/ handwavy. I think for now I'll reject.
This too shall pass.
