Anyone have any insights... I'm pretty sure I know what it is but would be kind of strange to get one from a map.

A tiny glass cube etched with humanoid faces depicted as frozen mid-scream.

You focus your magical senses on a tiny glass cube etched with humanoid faces depicted as frozen mid-scream.
Traces of magic swirl through the glass cube, somehow reminiscent of your knowledge of Analogous Patterns. Concealed beneath this is a secondary pattern of Corruption.

Get the same focusing from a necromancer, minus the corruption.

Don't know if applicable but he might need more Arcana to see the relevant bits.

> study my cube
It occurs to you that you could CLEAN, EAT, EXHALE, JUGGLE, PEER, SHAKE, or TAP the glass cube.
You are also fairly certainly you could BREAK the glass cube, since it is naught but fragile glass.

Yeah the verbs are what lead me to believe its that kind of item, but its pretty and I don't want to break it just yet.

>>Well make sure ya post when you do. I'm interested to see if that's another type of construct entirely.

I will do that... though will be quite a while before that happens, doing it at such a low circle seems like a gross waste of a lot of fun.
