Editing Narcissus (section)

=====Mirror Fishing=====

Mirror-fishing reels in strange wonders from the Other Side. These are always unique – oddities with odd properties. On a rare handful of occasions, however, mirror-fishers have pulled mirrors from out of their mirrors. These ephemeral mirrors were of strange geometries, with strange powers. Whereas most ephemera cannot be duplicated, the mirrorwrights of Narcissus learned to duplicate these few magic mirrors, from the patterns of the originals. These are the most sought-after objects of mirror-fishing – reeling in an unknown magic mirror would win the mirror-fisher untold wealth.

For some mysterious reason, the ephemeral mirrors are vanishing. One ephemeral disappears for every dozen copies the mirrorwrights craft.

A crystal sword whispering the name of a local woman, that shattered when pulled into the room, the Master will not be pleased.

Finally, a set of lenses attached to a frame, apparently that when looked through, as tested by the second apprentice, allows one to see the cause of death of each male relative in your family. Unknown as to how far back, as second apprentice began crying, turns out his great grandfather is not the Hero the tales make him out to be.''
