Flesh-Crafting Wands

Summary

The flesh-crafting wands are Dunnen-linked magical implements tied to the Mothers’ healing power, the Dunnensend ban on spell writing, Sister Prowels in the Night’s box, and The Mother, Betrayer’s corruption of that tradition into Carnamancy. Day 27 Dunnensend context establishes that The Mother, Betrayer was a Dunnen Mother who betrayed her people.

Known Details

• Dunnensend’s Mother office is associated with healing power, life, pleasure, fertility, and harvest through Igraine.
• Day 27 records that Mother Egraine Brook had healing powers, as did The Mother, Betrayer, and that Ennui stole that power, which was why no new spells could be written.
• Day 27’s box like Gelissa’s, held by Sister Prowels in the Night and sought by both Lortesh and The Basilisk, contained one of the flesh-crafting wands.
• User recollection suggests the wand from Sister Prowels in the Night’s box may have been recovered when Lortesh was killed and given to The Basilisk, but that custody detail remains uncertain.
• Day 42 records a wand totem brought from the sister in Dunnensend in Grand Towers.
• Day 42 also records a flesh-crafting wand in an observatory room with many books.
• Day 43 says flesh-crafting wands were still out there and that something was preventing all lost knowledge from being retrieved.
• Peridita appeared outside the Barrier wanting the flesh-crafting wands.
• The Mother, Betrayer’s known Carnamancy includes converting the life prison into flesh, trying to absorb or siphon Limusvita, repurposing Ennui’s clone, and carrying a spellbook using Ennui’s cipher and spells.

Open Questions

• Were the wands the normal Dunnen Mother channel for healing magic, tools derived from that channel, or corrupted versions created after The Mother, Betrayer’s betrayal?
• Did Ennui steal the Mothers’ healing power directly through the wands, or did the stolen power make wand-based spell writing impossible?
• Was the wand from Sister Prowels in the Night’s box definitely recovered after Lortesh’s death and given to The Basilisk?
• Why does possession or loss of the flesh-crafting wands block retrieval of lost knowledge?
