Resonance Mirror of the Veil-Weavers
A flat, oval pane of polished obsidian backed with layered Veil-Silk and framed in alchemically treated silver, its surface rippling like still water when touched by aetheric intent. In darkness it emits a faint silvery sheen, and faint echoes of past transmissions sometimes murmur at its edges like half-remembered whispers.
