Sable hugs her toy close to her chest, their heart beats aligning as the stuffed animal morphs into a terrifying cat-like creature (a kot bayun).

Mike takes about half a minute inscribing or engraving his first rune on the device to be repaired. If the repair attempt is successful, the rune and tool glow with werelight as breaks seal, bends straighten, and in general the object reforms itself to it's functional state.

A failed attempt sees a misshapen form of the rune which sparks out and does nothing of value.
