Additional Information

Show

This item has a hard-coded show that cannot be changed:

Thin and flat, the small machine resembles a slightly oversized cigar box with lacewood panels on all sides.  On each of the short, flat sides is a plaque with tiny instructions and filigreed label frames, one displaying "a piece of" and the other stating "declaration."  A third frame on one of the longer sides reads "writing" and sits amid bronze toggles, dials, switches, buttons, a window, and two glass tubes; both that are empty.  The final long side has a pull handle of round metal that provides access to some sort of drawer, and the lid is decorated with a woodburned dahlia design.

Altering

You analyze your lacewood mechanism and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Papermaker was created by the Order of the Lumnasi Viragos on the Isle of Ornath.

Because the Papermaker has a stock LOOK, you can't give this a LOOK, but you can give it a LONG.
