Dye-n-ator

The Dye-n-ator is an item found in the shop Dye Me a River on the Isle of Ornath's shopping center, Agora Promenade. It was introduced in 5122. Note - Dye doses that have been taken out of one Dye-n-ator cannot be placed into another Dye-n-ator, and in some circumstances cannot be returned to the Dye-n-ator from which they were removed. Be aware of this before permifying dye from another Dye-n-ator or wanting to store colors given to you by another player. Additional Note - Unlike storage devices, the Dye-n-ator has a per-use cost in the form of crystal amulet charges. It is important to remember that this means that putting permanent dye into the Dye-n-ator will require you to pay upkeep every time you wish to use the dye. At this time, there is no way to retrieve permanent dyes from the machine.

Disclaimers: The Dye-n-ator is a sensitive device and as such its creators wish to remind you that it is made for good fun. As a result, it has restrictions on it to prevent the harm of small children and animals. The creators do not want any accusations of "The Dye-n-ator ate my baby!" Please use the Dye-n-ator appropriately. Do not place your hands in the device while it is in use as the creators will not be held responsible for missing digits. And, for the love of all that is holy, do not bring a spoon anywhere near it. Do not use in the baths as the creators will not be held responsible for what may happen. For your safety do not break these rules.
