A fine ceramic urn

Plaster of Joining

Tags: beautiful, fragile, magical

A jar of fine pottery, the size of a small cookpot. Its glaze is a wondrous blend of patterns and sheens. The lid fits snugly, though it's clumsy to manipulate and tricky to open once closed. You get the feeling it was made for much bigger hands than yours.

To unlock it, you must:

• commune with the chthonic spirit that dwells within (instinct to hoard secrets);
• convince it to teach you both the secret recipe and song required to make its magic work;
• acquire the reagents required for the recipe (Value 1);
• manage to sing the secret song for a day and night, without pause.

Plaster of Joining

Uses: ☐ ☐ ☐

When you pour water, a pinch of blood, and special reagents (Value 1) into the urn and sing over it for a full day and night, the urn gains 1 use (3 uses max) of plaster.

When you use the plaster to join two or more pieces of stone, rock, or crystal and let the plaster set for a few hours, the pieces will fuse together. Different materials will show a natural, gradient seam. Similar materials will fuse together seamlessly.

A single use of the plaster can cover an area up to a few inches wide and tall. Multiple uses can join together larger pieces of stone. Unused plaster will last indefinitely as long as the urn stays sealed.
