Diorama Dollhouse

This creepy little Diorama Dollhouse, a box of places, is useful in Augury among other things.

Particulars

As a magic dollhouse any effects it creates or events it represents will use a doll motif.<ref name=":0"> “One person presently on this Trail isn’t supposed to be here,” the opossum by the wayside told her.
[...]
Who wasn’t supposed to be here?  Herself?  Was it Snowdrop, if Snowdrop was non-virginal?  One of the Others?  An invader?
[...]
Avery blinked, trying to see.  She made out a shape.  A hand.  A massive doll’s hand.

The doll’s face was beyond the thicket, lying sideways.

“I know what to do!” Snowdrop raised her voice.  “I know what to do!  I’ll help!  I can bring help!  I can save you!”

Then the hand receded.  Taking Snowdrop with it.  The face remained. - Excerpt from Stolen Away 2.9</ref>

Effecting the diorama will affect what the diorama represents.<ref name=":16">

Lawrence said, [...] ["]This device, empowered by this space, makes a fine lens.  ["]

- Excerpt from Gone Ahead 7.a</ref>

It has multiple ways of being opened and used though it shouldn't be opened the same way twice.<ref>

- Excerpt from Stolen Away 2.z</ref> Further it must have the power needed to manifest the diorama otherwise it might damage the user to make up the balence. Seemingly any source is suitable such as blood or even from the Demanse it is ensconced in.<ref name=":16"/>

the box can be opened something like 12 diffrent ways.^{[citation needed]}

Chronology

A magic item found and cleansed by Alexander Belanger for use in his practice, he remains found of it.<ref name=":1">She lifted up the dense, metal dollhouse, setting it in a metal box with about 20 segments.  There were a horrendous number of figures, pieces of furniture, accessories, animals, and little colored blocks inside, sliding around, rolling down stairs, and falling out.  The box itself had zipper-like creases at the edges of each segment, knitting them together.  She centered the dollhouse and then collected the fallen bits, pushing them in through windows.

“This was a find of mine.  A cursed object I cleansed.  It remains an interesting tool for observation.  A little cumbersome, but I have to admit, I like having an excuse to dust it off.”

She wiped off some dust.

“Most of the time, I prefer specialized tools for specialized jobs, but this is versatile, and has enough power left over from its past victims that it can power through some common defenses, like those runes you described.” - Excerpt from Stolen Away 2.z</ref>

2020

Alexander let his apprentice Nicolette Belanger use it as a tool for revenge. <ref name=":2"> - Excerpt from Stolen Away 2.z</ref> With this item Nicolete was able to steal Avery's incredibly important animal companion while the duo was within the Forrest Ribbon Trail.<ref name=":0"/>

Months later, inside Alexander Belanger's Demanse Lawrence Bristow had Kevin Noone target another on of Alexabders apprentices using the dollhouse.<ref name=":16"/>
