Description
Sealed, inert containers holding fine grains of sand, glass or synth. As the etched warning gylphs in many dialects indicate, the material within is possessed by an active nano-spirit scooped from the wastelands of the Beyond. The trading of such cyphers is often prohibited within more civilized regions, to say nothing of the dangers implicit in scavenging angry ghosts.
