Gotta catch 'em all! These will be split up and available through a few sources of unique distribution. One (or two...) will be available exclusively in the Carnival Games feeders. One will be available exclusively as a prize for the various staff-run games and contests during Ebon Gate. The others will be in the Ticket Shop for your buying pleasure! Now the real question is which prizes will land where... >read my volume Invoking this starstone-set volume will grant you permanent access to a special method of preparing your spells.

Cobbling Punch
Coming to an EG near you, cobbling hallmark punches for master cobblers! >glance You glance down to see an ivory-inlaid steel punch in your right hand and a pair of fabulous shoes in your left hand. >push my punch Using your punch, you line up the sole of one of your shoes with the punch plate and give the handle a good squeeze. Success! Your punch plate settings have been applied to the shoes. Imprinted on the sole, you see an unfurled rose, the crafter's personal hallmark. >look my shoes Imprinted on the sole, you see an unfurled rose, the crafter's personal hallmark. >turn my punch You change the plate on your steel punch, adjusting the settings to display your personal crafting mark of an unfurled rose and an engraving of the shoes owner's name. >push my punch Using your punch, you line up the sole of one of your shoes with the punch plate and give the handle a good squeeze. Success! Your punch plate settings have been applied to the shoes. Imprinted on the sole, you notice an unfurled rose. Inside, the name 'Airisu' is engraved in elegant script. That's not all! >dance shoes Standing on the toes of your fabulous shoes, you dance a few quick steps. >poke shoes You lift your foot and carefully examine the bottom of one of your fabulous shoes. You poke your finger at something stuck to the sole. Ew! What is that!? ... and more. Visit Lady Airisu in Come To Heel for customization and improvements!
Permafier
This will be available in the Halfway Midway and accept Ebon Gate tickets only.
No, it's not an amazing new way to get a fancy hairdo for Elanthian prom night, but it might be the next best thing! Allow me to introduce the PERM-ifier! It does a lot of what it says on the tin, transforming certain fluff scripted objects into their permanent versions. You also see an enruned shadowglass obelisk. >look obelisk The sharp-edged form of the obelisk is mounted upon a grey granite plinth. Partially translucent, its entire body is swirled with pale streaks of grey and white which writhe around inside the glassy confines. Speaking to an enruned shadowglass obelisk, you exclaim, "I wonder what you do!" >touch obelisk A soft voice from the shadowglass obelisk whispers, "Simply hold the object in your right hand and try again." You remove a perfume bottle from in your Ebon Gate bag. You glance down to see a perfume bottle in your right hand and nothing in your left hand. You sniff delicately at the perfume bottle, and detect the faint scent of cinnamon and roasted pumpkin. You say, "It is pumpkin spice season..." >touch obelisk A soft voice from the shadowglass obelisk whispers, "A bottle of perfume? We could certainly work our magic on your perfume bottle for 5000 tickets." Your perfume bottle begins to shine with a pale white radiance. >touch obelisk A soft voice from the shadowglass obelisk whispers, "It is done. Your perfume bottle will last forever. After our fee of 5000 tickets, you still possess 7604 tickets." >measure my bottle Your perfume bottle is bottomless! It contains an infinite amount of liquid. You exclaim, "I guess that's neat!" The PERM-ifier is currently set up to work with: makeup/cosmetics, fletching paint, cobbling dye, perfume, imbue boxes, nail lacquer, runestone carvers, lip gloss, and teas/coffees but you would need to ask Vanah for the specific details on that. Current costs range from 2,000 to 7,500 tickets per use depending on the item you want to treat. I look forward to claiming many of your Midway Tickets!
The PERM-ifier will work on both tea cases and the jars. For the cases, it will only PERM-ify the active tea selection. If a flavor blend is restricted in any way, such as being a flavor for a CHE, a private home, a specific shop, or the like, the flavor blend will be ineligible for this service. The PERM-ifier will also work on flavorings (cream, syrups, etc.), but not a sugar cube or slice of lemon, since those are one-serving items.
