A Wondrous Device
Description
This is a deg sized (65 cm), Royal Navy Blue colored family heirloom. It's vaguely orb shaped and made from wood [mycelium], hardwater ice, and twined reeds. It feels slithery in your hand and inspires feelings of soft irritation when you look at it.
Usage
Splits into d1000 tiny insect-sized stinging drones when insulted, spanked, or forgotten; the drones prioritize stinging the insulter, spanker, or forgetter, but they will attack any motile being within d100 M; each insect inflicts 1 HEA of damage before expiring with a "pop" and a whiff of caramelized bacon.
Background
This excavated oddment was turned up in The Flats on Spindle.
