The magical Fairy Dust Fountain on the tenth floor is made from stone, consisting of two large fountains and four smaller ones. They all have different-colored dust created from the Heart of the Tree above, flowing down each tier them like waterfalls. The overflow seems to just disappear back into the Life Stream rather than rain to the floors below.
Each fountain is marked by a little etching that 'explains' what the dust does.
Every Adventurer in the Tree is allowed one small crystal vial of dust every 24 hours. If the vial is not spent, the dust will turn to useless ash after that time. Storing dust in anything other than the vial makes the dust turn to ash as well, and will not allow an Adventurer to gain more dust that day.
Essentially, don't try to trick Tone or he might shut you off completely until he's convinced you won't try it again. He's very serious about the dust business!
the dust colors
GOLDEN DUST
Mark: Feather
Effect: Sprinkling a vial of golden fairy dust on an object or a creature (that does not have a gem) makes it/them weightless. If the person has a gem, nothing happens to them.
This can be used to move something/someone up, down, side to side and more, but will not make it/them float off into the sky.
Dose: One vial is enough for one person/creature/object up to a foot in size. It cannot weigh more than 50 grams, but several vials can be used to lift larger/heavier things if Adventurers work together.
Duration: One hour.
🍃
SILVER DUST
Mark: Stone
Effect: Sprinkling a vial of silver fairy dust on an object or a creature (that does not have a gem) makes it/them completely unmovable. If the person has a gem, nothing happens to them.
