Editing List of Practices (section)

==Toymaker==
A broad practice that involves the Visceral and Tools, involving giving out wanted objects that can unload curses and thus gain power, related to the [[Peddler]] practice, much simpler in that they just get their creations into circulation rather than directly selling them.<ref name=tm/>. With the items coming back with their prize later.<ref>'''Toymakers''' (sometimes darkwrights or cursesmiths) release cursed items into the world, baiting the innocent into using them, going too far or falling prey to the inbuilt curses, and then the items return to the toymaker to bring back the dividends. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LZFjFfwxLK1UWS59EY5js8ORYAlQLvLzBmkcqdpTp_0#heading=h.i8bfyvxukrbd PACT DICE: Rapacious]</ref> As with any practice it can be beneficial or harmful.<ref>“Toys, made of shrine wood, bless the child you give the gift to!” someone shouted.  “Or curse them!” - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YXzbO86597STHrWdX7K_kSIC3lBZuzYkrFyN1e8sp70 Excerpt] from [[Pate]]</ref>

When dealing with toys one is trying to ensnare children (childish adults and toy collectors can presumably count too),<ref>
*'''Toymakers''' create dolls (or other toys) as a means of getting access to children.  Loading them with cursed power, they let them naturally find their way to the hands of children and then capitalize on the position, kidnapping or undoing the child, or snaring them in a curse tied to ample warnings, to harvest power. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LZFjFfwxLK1UWS59EY5js8ORYAlQLvLzBmkcqdpTp_0#heading=h.6qs3tzgz1y9p PACT DICE: Dolls]</ref> when a lapidary creates jewelry they try to ensnare those who want to look fabulous.<ref>
* '''Toymakers''' (also Lapidaries, others) make and release cursed goods into the world, not selling or trading but instead trusting items with inherent appeal to vulnerable innocents will find their way to the right hands.  Toymakers use toys to access children, but other variations (such as Lapidaries making jewelry) target other groups. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qAyvtxa93SEwoRuf-7MrrtpPA5Ae2WZjjAK3aiTN Pact Dice:] [[Peddler]]s Excerpt</ref> A similar idea applies to those variations that create or use some other coveted item. Other general names for them are cursesmiths, cursewirghts, darkwrights and darksmiths.

Like Peddlers there are [[Other]]s that can also be called Toymakers.<ref name=tm>She had a sense of who and what <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Tenmercy]]] was, because it was adjacent to the standard peddler dealio.  If peddlers were caveat emptor shop owners who sold cursed items that would see the buyer suffer, harvest energies or whatever, then ship it back to the seller, then Toymakers were a similar thing without the shop.  They just made the cursed items and sent them out into the world or planted them to be found.  Simpler.  Maybe older.  Sometimes they sold to peddlers as a business relationship. [...] Let me hang up my hat as a cursewright for good- I do think you seem to know what I do, so I’ll stop pretending. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/12/06 Excerpt] from [[Hard Pass 22.1]]</ref><ref> - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2023/03/28 Excerpt] from [[Go for the Throat 23.9]]</ref>
