You take a closer look at an ebonwood-framed miniature house with glass walls.
You analyze the ebonwood house and sense that the creator has provided the following information:


The House that the Spider Built (a.k.a - House of Spider)
== Alteration Spiders==
Found in Naidem, the house is a small house built to hold the Spidersilk Apothecary spiders and will store them weightlessly. These special spiders can be found by searching through spiderwebs in Graveyard Temporalis, Outer Rim (eastern side).
[[The Spidersilk Apothecary/The Spiders of the Spiderweb|See the glorious spiders]] drawn from the gossamer spiderweb at Ebon Gate 2025 and their designs. This is a list of the alteration spiders that work with cloth, gemstone, glass, leather, stone, and wood.

How the House of Spider Works<br>
PUT - a spider (or up to 80 different ones) into the house<br>
GAZE - to view all of the alteration spiders stored inside by type {ie: wood, stone, etc.}<br>
GLANCE - to view all of the transmorphing spiders stored inside<br>
LOOK - to display a full list of all spiders stored in the house<br>
PLUCK - to remove the spider that is on display<br>
WHISPER - cycle through the spiders and/or prepare a spider for removal<br>

It can house 80 unique spiders in total. Currently: 0 of 80.

Alterations
The house can be altered provide it is some kind of storage container for spiders.

Introduced as an Event Vault Special Item, the Spidersilk Apothecary is an altering device. It allows you to collect spiders with special abilities and alterations to them that can modify your items if they qualify. They can modify items that are unscripted, allowed to be dyed, and a number of other scripts that have permission. The primary qualifiers are listed on the spiders, which can be obtained by a spiderweb in Naidem at Graveyard Temporalis, Outer Rim (8083361).

The Spidersilk Apothecary

The Spidersilk Apothecary houses spiders inside and allows them to be used to alter or otherwise modify appropriate items.

Analyze

You analyze the shadow box and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Spidersilk Apothecary
Found in Naidem, the box is an octagonal contraption that provides customizations to specific items based on the spiders it has stored inside of it.  These spiders perform their magic best when a web is at the heart of the box.  These special spiders can be found by searching through a web in Graveyard Temporalis, Outer Rim (eastern side).

How the Apothecary Works
PUT     - a spider (or up to 80 different ones) into the apothecary
GAZE    - to view all of the alteration spiders stored inside by type {ie: wood, stone, etc.}
GLANCE  - to view all of the transmorphing spiders stored inside
LOOK    - to see the status of the apothecary
PEER    - to display a full list of all spiders stored in the apothecary
PINCH   - to create a web inside the apothecary
PLUCK   - to remove the spider that is on display
TICKLE  - to cause the stored item inside to be transformed by a spider
TURN    - to 1, 2, or 3 in order to cycle through alteration designs (alteration spiders only)
TWIST   - to add an item that you want the spiders to modify
WHISPER - cycle through the spiders and/or prepare a spider for removal

CHARGES - the apothecary is charged by the web spell.  You can either cast it at the box or wave a wand at it to add charges.  It currently has 96 out of 100 charges stored inside.

Alterations
The box cannot be altered in anyway, but the spiders can.  Please pay special attention to them.

AT {option} You gaze over the lines of your shadow box, taking note of each of the spiders stored within that can work on wood. They are:

(item base) painted in a silver web
Spider Number 3 - an ebonwood black wolf spider can provide the following +long designs:

GLANCE {my} BOX You glance over the species of spiders stored within the box, looking for those that can handle a transmorphing project. Here's what you find:

Spider Number 10 is a transmorphing spider of the tinkerer type, who can transform an effigy, figurine, miniature, sculpture, statuette, or statue into a weaving charm. (a dark brown white-tailed spider)
To arrange for one of these spiders to work for you, WHISPER to the box the spider # you desire.

LOOK BOX (no web) Meticulously crafted, the octagonal shadow box is framed in glossy ebonwood. Its back wall is fitted with a smoky, obsidian mirror that seems to absorb all light. Eight tiny, glinting silver anchors rest within the corners, their tips curled so that the ring is almost closed. Cool to the touch, the shadow box smells faintly of nightblooming flowers and varnish. This section has not been added yet; please add to it now!
(web in place) Meticulously crafted, the octagonal shadow box is framed in glossy ebonwood. Its back wall is fitted with a smoky, obsidian mirror that seems to absorb all light. Gossamer threads, anchored to silver hooks in the eight corners of the piece, weave together to create an intricate web that is sturdy enough to support a single item at its center.

Alteration Spider

Alteration spiders can change the appearance of certain types of objects after they have been placed inside of The Spidersilk Apothecary. Alteration spiders are each set up to work with only a single type of material, such as fabric, leather, metal, or gemstone. This material type can be seen in the individual spider's ANALYZE information. Manipulating the spider is done after placing the spider inside The Spidersilk Apothecary and via the box itself.
