Botanist’s Delight Curiosity Case
Wonder · Mage
Arete N/A, Quintessence 15, Background Cost 3 pts.
As European countries spread across the world like out-of-control vines, rare and previously unknown (to Europe) plant species have become all the rage. Glass specimen
transportation cases, Wardian Cases, are must-have items amongst would-be naturalists, as well as magi seeking out new occult reagents.
Superficially similarly to their mundane, Wardian coun terparts, Botanist’s Delight Curiosity Cases are terrariums that appear made out of clear glass and wood. The major difference is that magi can attune their cases to an ideal environment for any plants they collect. Small examples remain the most common. There are a few of these large enough to rival royal greenhouses.
System
Using Life 2 to analyze the specific needs of the specimens within, Matter 3 provides the exact environment necessary to thrive. If too many plants or fungi with incom
patible needs are placed inside the same case, there is no guarantee for any of their health. This artifact consumes 1 point of Quintessence every week. Effects are elegant.
