At the Storyteller’s option, a given Wonder might have features or flaws that the player doesn’t know about. Essentially, the Storyteller decides to “add a little something extra” to

the item, providing surprises for the player and her mage. Obviously, these secret features and flaws don’t affect the cost of a created Wonder – if they did, then they wouldn’t be secrets! Such enigmas, however, are quite traditional for the magical items of legend and literature.
