==Gardener==
A somewhat rare practice that looks into how [[Realm]]ic power interacts and changes things,<ref name="G1">“Alphonse Edward Nasser.  Trifold gardener,” Alphonse interrupted her.<br><br>''Giving himself a label ninety nine point nine percent of people wouldn’t know about,'' [Cheryl] thought.  A practitioner calling themselves a ‘gardener’ studied how the natural power of a realm affected things and crystallized - often how magic items naturally sprung up.  Trifold gardener, three different realms, and three different kinds of Greek to a layman. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YXzbO86597STHrWdX7K_kSIC3lBZuzYkrFyN1e8sp70 Excerpt] from [[Pate]]</ref> such as how it can infuse and create a [[magic item]] either spontaneously or through cultivation.<ref>'''Chapter Four''' covers related topics to chapter two, but in the case of ‘accidental’ crafting, the Other or the Other-associated leaves functionally enchanted objects in their wake.  [...] Crafts detailed here include making objects receptive vs. making them hallowed, the means of identifying enchanted detritus, ‘gardenings’ that place an object in a strange realm such as the Abyss, Ruins, or Faerie to be recovered later and ‘architecture’ that prepares a space in one of those strange realms so that an item comes into being or finds its way to the desired point, with the desired qualities.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/03 Excerpt] from [[List_of_Books#Forged_Hearts|Forged Hearts]]</ref><ref>“If you’re a Gardener, then that suggests to me that you make magic items,” Avery said.  “Infusing the power of a realm into the object, and shaping it.  That’s… we can do business.  A good grace would be opening negotiations- I’m not screwing you up, am I, Ronnie?” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/10/10 Excerpt] from [[In Absentia 21.2]]</ref><ref>Within the Demesne, one wields power.  A primary expression of this power will be defining the space, and populating it with properties.  In this, we can discuss some of the nuances of the material, immaterial, and other schools not covered prior.<br><br>Objects brought from the outside will, unless sufficiently [[claim]]ed by others or indicated as separate from the Demesne, be gradually absorbed into the space, as the place’s power saturates it.  Once saturation is complete, the object will be part of the Demesne, and may be hard to remove.<br><br>Many parallels can be drawn toward this saturation and the act of ‘gardening’ by allowing an object to reside within the Abyss or Faerie realms, and the effects are often similar to an object being given a great deal of focus from the practitioner’s Self.  Keep in mind, however, that these things are often tethered through the Demesne; one can imagine a string that reaches from object, loops through the Demesne, and then extends out to the practitioner.  Function, form, and effectiveness will be at least partially dependent on the proximity to the Demesne. - excerpt from [[Demesnes]], quoted in [[Demesnes Text]]</ref> The realms tapped or used in this manner are essentially limitless,<ref name="gg">Most often, items are found in other realms- in the right place or given the right conditions, items may be infused with the ambient effects and powers of the space, gaining power and qualities.  This can be accidental and natural, requiring the right eye or luck to find them and divine their purpose, or it may be intentional, created by the practice of ‘gardening’ - preparing a space in the right spot to help shape an item’s creation.<br>[...]<br>If an item is placed in a ‘garden’ in the Ruins, then a wraith could circumvent protections to occupy it.<br>[...]<br><br>[...]<br>'''Gardeners''' work with a specific realm or field, placing items in that realm or in proximity to power to let them naturally and passively become magic items over time. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LZFjFfwxLK1UWS59EY5js8ORYAlQLvLzBmkcqdpTp_0#heading=h.7ydr4e87chyt PACT DICE: Magic Item]</ref> even including combined realms such as various [[crossroads]].<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LZFjFfwxLK1UWS59EY5js8ORYAlQLvLzBmkcqdpTp_0#heading=h.gd7vmmc5gnxw PACT DICE: Knots]</ref> Ihis obscure practice is slowly getting more attention.<ref name="Mag4"/>

One family practice required a [[Lordship]] to be a proper Manifold Gardener.<ref>You’re ten and nine years behind your oldest siblings, the family practice requires you to have a Lordship, you must work to catch up, if you want a region like this and not a patch of desert around a small town.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/10/10/in-absentia-21-2/ Excerpt] from [[In Absentia 21.2]]</ref> It's important to keep the items being gardened from being taken from others.<ref name="gg"/>

A manifold Gardener would focus on multiple realms while a trifold gardener would focus on three,<ref name="G1"/> they can also place items next to some form of [[power]]<ref name="gg"/> to create items or give the right item to the right individual.<ref name="Mag4">[Miller said]“There’s a practice called ‘gardening’ that is seeing a surge of interest, where areas where the power of one realm is concentrated, they bury items there, let them take on that magic and become magic items.  Sometimes it’s putting items in the hands of the right individuals, but I won’t digress. [...] It can happen naturally but they can do it intentionally.  The reason it’s seeing a surge is both because our understanding of realms and power are coming together, and because there’s a widespread sense that our understanding of power, realms, and how ambient power is granted may leap forward in a major paradigm shift, be it in days, weeks, months, years, a decade.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2023/07/22 Excerpt] from [[Finish Off 24.13]]</ref>
