An alchemist shapes a clay golem beside copper furnaces and a homunculus in a jar, with whales drifting past a sunken city beyond.

Possession

Alchemy, Rune

A cursed rune for shackles or fetters that forces anyone bound by them to obey the maker; Remove Curse cancels it.

From the book

A cursed rune meant for shackles and fetters. Anyone locked into restraints bearing it must follow the orders of the rune's maker. Casting Remove Curse on the device cancels its power.

It is carved like any other rune: a sharp tool, one full hour of work and a certain result.
