The ancient craft of origami is a subtle and delicate folk art, involving folding and shaping sheets of light vellum into esoteric shapes, using a few simple folds and techniques combined in sequence to create objects of surprising complexity, and imbued with capabilities that seem, to the untrained eye, to be beyond their humble origins. The surest mark of the subtle complexity of origami is the fact that the simpler the design appears, the more complex it actually is to make.


The simplest origami is the action origami, so called because the folded paper can be made to move in simple ways. For instance, a folded paper crane might flap its wings when its tail is tugged on. More cunningly, when magic ink is also applied, a bookbinder can scribe a message into the origami which the crane will appear to recite when it is opened. (One dose of ink will inscribe up to ten characters.) The origami can also be folded around a small keepsake. You may mail this origami at any post office, though only when it is closed.

Anyone can read a sorcelglass scroll to review or apply the design. A sorcelglass scroll can be used five times, and each time, it will require and consume the commodities listed in the design to customize the appearance of the vial, bottle, or glass. A design intended for one kind of container cannot be used on the other kinds. Any container can only be modified in this way once, and doing so doubles its remaining lifespan before decay.

Like its simpler cousin action origami, modular origami is made from complex combinations of simple folds of vellum, and will appear as some object or creature, most commonly those found in the natural world, regardless of its actual purpose. Unlike action origami, however, modular origami is fashioned from several separate pieces of vellum which are folded independently and then combined in the final step of assembly.


The resulting origami may appear like a dragon or mountain, but will actually serve as a small container capable of preserving its contents for as long as the origami itself lasts, and able to be mailed at any post office (only when closed). However, this preservative power comes at several costs. First, it will not begin to take effect until the final assembly is completed when the origami is closed; and once it is closed, nothing more may be added. Second, the origami itself will not be preserved by other magics such as those used in shop stockrooms. Third, and most importantly, the act of opening the origami will destroy it, leaving its contents in the hands of the person who opened it. (Items that could be stored in a rift will, if the holder has the appropriate skill and enough room, automatically go into the rift instead.)

Once a wet fold origami has been released, which consumes the actual folded vellum, it will grant an origami luck charm which lasts approximately one day. This has several beneficial effects, including making you more charming, slightly increasing the esteem gathered when influencing, and, when the effect wears off, imbuing you with a refreshing, revitalizing energy.
