This IS an item. If you look at this blog post it's called an "artifact".

If anyone has played Halo here, from what I understand, these artifacts will work like how skulls work in Halo.

You find them, and they unlock an artifact which you can activate before a new game. Each artifact will probably come with it's own positive and negative buffs.
