The Gather Swarm Charm is a small charm-like item that houses a swarm of insects. When rubbed, it will seek out silver on the ground in the room you use it in. When pointed at an open container, it will seek out silver inside of it. If the silvers weren't dropped by someone, it will gather them up and add them directly to you. The larger the sum, the longer it can take, but anything under 100,000 silver will not take any time at all.

The Gather Swarm Charm was released via Giftbox. It was offered once during the window of 7/28/2023-8/4/2023, and then again a second time immediately afterward through 8/11/2023. It was created by GM Wyrom and was inspired by Hollow Knight.

The bugs inside can be changed out with a gemmed bug, commonly called a "bugs-on-parade" item.  A talented merchant could also alter the bug inside, but this may be a very uncommon service.  You can LOOK at the charm to see a bunch of useful information.

The charm will track both lifetime uses and a resettable record each time it is used.  If you wish to reset it at any time, BREAK charm and it will bring the resettable record's values back to zero.

The charm reacts to WEAR, REMOVE, RUB, POINT, BREAK, HOLD, and SHAKE.  It can be freely altered but should remain charm-like.
