🕯️ Included Tools

🔸 Thread Igniter

“A small candle, lit with wispfire. The smoke curls into frolicking figures who dance around The Father of the Flame.”
Effect: After binding, dashing causes you to vanish in a gout of flame — granting temporary invulnerability frames.
Location: The Marrow

🔸 Prototype Harvester

“When the architects of the Citadel first interacted with the Children of the Flame, they became bent on harnessing the fire of the wisps. Before the construction was discontinued, a vial of distilled wispfire was created.”
Effect: While binding, losing health causes you to spew out lost silk.
Location: Whiteward

🔸 Wisp Father’s Melody

“A slightly smoldering effigy to the Father of the Flame. This small token sparks fiery chants within the bearer’s mind, beckoning pyre pixies to the revelry.”
Effect: As you play the Needolin, fiery wisps erupt around those nearby.
Location: Greymoor / Wisp Thicket

🔸 Plasmium Petri

“A confiscated experiment from a would-be architect. The blue fungus growing inside secretes an all-too-familiar substance.”
Effect: While equipped, you gain one Plasmium health, sustained by the luminous blue growth thriving within the glass.
Location: Underworks

🔸 Soul Jar

“A small cracked vessel leaking the final remnants of soul. The power of this substance, coveted so greatly by one who wished it twisted to violent means, drove that shaman from fiery worship to tyrannical exile.”
Effect: While equipped, periodically releases small soul orbs that replenish silk.
Location: Bilewater

🔸 Merry Maker

“A ritual adornment stitched with thin waxen cords. Tiny candles line its edge, sputtering sparks as the wearer dances. Through motion, a reveler stokes The Flame.”
Effect: When worn, horizontal attacks trail arcs of flame through the air.
Location: Greymoor

🔸 Weaver’s Blades

“Common Weaver technique, one part of a Weaver’s basic training. Maneuvering the blades requires focus, but no extra use of silk.”
Effect: With the focus required to maintain the blades, the user cannot effectively wield the Needle. Activate to change the blades’ stance.
Location: Whispering Vaults

🔸 Cleansing Automaton

“Hastily created and incomplete Weaver construct, meant to purify foreign contaminants.”
Effect: Violently and indiscriminately expels contents of the bearer’s shell, activating only on hard impacts with the ground.
Location: Weavenest Murglin
