Editing The Gardener (section)

== Statistics for the Gardener ==

The Gardener (Pham, as Marta calls it) is an automaton and follows all rules for automaton physiology.  It cannot truly speak, but makes itself understood through pantomime and an intricate internal music box that plays notes silimar to those produced by a xylophone.  It can express intent also through the colors of its crystal "head", a spherical orb mounted on orichalcum coated struts above the torso.  Blues indicate tranquility and a lack of programming stress, yellows show confusion, greens represent initiative and thoughtful action, reds indicate threat detection, and oranges show possible malfunctions or necessary maintenance.  It's hands house a variety of tools suitable for cultivation and other menial tasks.

The automaton is designed to function using essence collectors in a manse environment to gather all the energy it needs, though it can operate in creation with either a hearthstone setting or an infusion of essence in its internal battery.  The battery holds 10 motes, and requires 2 motes per day of operation.  It was designed to serve as a personal bodyguard and assistant.  Left to its own devices, it will work tirelessly tending to any plants it finds.
