By the same token, a mage can infuse Quintessence into a living being and turn that creature into a living Periapt. Such miracles demand Life 5 in addition to the usual Periapt-creation process. (See Crafting Wonders, below.) With Life 5 and Prime 5, that creature may be turned into a Soulflower: a living extension of the mage’s personal energies. A similar enchantment (Matter 4 /Prime 4) crafts an inanimate Soulgem: a material receptacle for that willworker’s personal essence. In both cases, the Soulflower or Soulgem mirror and contain both the Quintessence and the Resonance from the mage who crafted them. The Periapts add to the mage’s Quintessence and Paradox capacities, and allow her to access their Quintessence almost anywhere, even across vast distances (assuming she can reach them with Correspondence-Sphere magick). If and when the mage’s Resonance shifts, then the Resonance within those Periapts shifts as well. Their energy is her energy, and her energy becomes their own.
