If that object gets destroyed, of course, then the power is lost forever. And if it gets taken away, then the thief might score a larger treasure than she’d expected to obtain…","Crafted with Awakened Arts and Sciences, each Wonder employs the power of the Spheres. An object that has been rein­ forced, crafted or consecrated with the Spheres – like a T-shirt hardened with {@sphere Matter|M20}, a wooden spear grown with {@sphere Life|M20}, or a dagger invested with {@sphere Prime|M20} magick so that it inflicts aggravated damage – is not actually a Wonder unless, as with a Trinket, its unusual nature is permanent. By definition, Wonders have been invested with paranormal powers.
