Usage Information
Spiders must be placed inside a Spidersilk Apothecary to work. The apothecary itself is manipulated to use a spider to apply its effect. Individual spiders can be removed to be customized or altered.
Alteration Spider
Alteration spiders add one of three long designs to a qualifying item. Most work with a single base material: cloth, gemstone, glass, leather, metal, organic, stone, or wood. Metal spiders also accept glaes, and wood spiders accept any wood material, including villswood. Specialty alteration spiders were later added to work on a broad category of item instead of a material.

Additional Information
Spiders must be inside a Spidersilk Apothecary in order to work. Spiders can be stored inside either the apothecary or a House of Spider.
Alteration spiders only work on unscripted items or on scripts that allow alterations.
Metallurgy spiders will not work on rare metals, on metals that cannot be dyed, or on items already made of the spider's metal. No spider can turn an item into a rare metal.

- Metallurgy - This particular specimen is considered a metallurgy spider that changes the metal of a piece of jewelry to the metal the spider is made of. This one is (metal). The spider itself never changes. It cannot work with rare metals: it will not touch jewelry made of a rare metal, and no spider can ever turn a piece of jewelry into a rare metal. This spider can NEVER be altered.
- Confectionery - This particular specimen is considered a confectionery spider that spins a foraged item into an edible confection of spun sugar.
- Websmith - This particular specimen is considered a websmith spider that draws a skein of yarn out into a bundle usable for weaving.
