The Mad Manners Manuel
You analyze the leather grimoire and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The Mad Manners Manual (also known as Miss Manners' Mad Manual)
A crescent-tooled midnight leather grimoire clasped in tarnished silver is a book of etiquette with three books bound into one spine. It is currently showing Zelia's Guidebook to the Celestial Table.
You may OPEN, CLOSE, READ, TURN, FLIP, LOOK at, and SHOW the grimoire to others. Zelia's pages will not stay in order; each READ recites one of her rules at random.
PINCH the spine while holding it to cycle to the next book: Zelia's Guidebook to the Celestial Table, A Treatise on the Proper Governance of the Table, or Rai'kan: A Guide to the Erithi Tea Ceremony. The page resets to the beginning whenever the book changes.
ADD a registered tableware item TO the open pages while holding both, and its design becomes an illustration in the book. The item is consumed, so you will be asked to ADD again to confirm. A new illustration of the same kind replaces the old one. Each noun is illustrated as one kind of tableware:
Fork: fork
Spoon: spoon
Knife: knife
Chopsticks: chopsticks, chopstick
Teaspoon: teaspoon
Plate: plate
Saucer: saucer
Napkin: napkin
Teapot: teapot, kettle
Teacup: teacup, tea-bowl, teabowl
Pitcher: pitcher, jug, ewer
Glass: beaker, chalice, cup, flute, glass, goblet, tumbler, wine-bowl
Carafe: carafe, decanter
Mug: mug, tankard, stein
Serving Bowl: crock, tureen, urn
Bowl: bowl
Platter: platter, salver, tray, trencher
POINT the grimoire AT a Tier 5 Basketifier, and each illustration replaces the basket's design of the same kind, one for one. Only tableware the basket already holds (unlocked with its voucher) can be replaced; the rest stay in the book. You will be shown what will transfer and asked to POINT again to confirm. Illustrations that transfer leave the book. The manual can transfer illustrations once per day, resetting at midnight.
There are no tableware illustrations within the grimoire yet.
The title and the three books within cannot be altered, though a merchant may change the grimoire's description by giving each title a unique LOOK and LONG. Please keep the noun synonymous with grimoire.
Private Property 1 - The Widow's Lantern Inn
Nestled between the mist-choked forests of Wraithenmist and the dark waters of the Lake of Shadowed Sorrows, the Widow's Lantern Inn is an ancient lakeside establishment with an active fishing pier, comfortable accommodations, and carefully tended grounds. Though its living proprietors have long since departed, the property remains remarkably well maintained by the spectral staff and guests who continue their daily routines, seemingly undisturbed by the passage of centuries.
