Loser’s Jounce
The Loser’s Jounce is a high-tier Magic Item that can pull features from the Paths (and related places) into other Realms, including reality.<ref>Left in the Dust 16.3</ref>
Has an issue operating around innocents<ref name=":a"> Magic items and magically created items tended to get weird when innocents saw them, and things created from the weapon ring counted. - Excerpt from Back Away 5.1</ref> as do it's constructions. As a thrown object it can return to it's thrower due to their connection, provided they have sufficient claim.<ref>The Jounce came back, fed speed by the wind that carried it. It was the nature of items like this to return to sender, for the next use. Claim was the key thing. [Avery] had a claim to it- she’d earned and bought it. - Left in the Dust 16.8 </ref>

| Kennet Found (Stuck-In Place) | "swamp" hazard area.<ref>“Bad Wolf! Stay!” Avery hollered. She threw the Jounce. The ball stored aspects of Lost places she’d been. She’d borrowed from Kennet found. A bit of stuck-in. It came in as a patch of shadow and accumulating snow, then a surge of black grasses and fronds, weeds and other things stabbing their way up from the patches of snow. Avery landed on train platform number three, which didn’t have any trains. The ground rippled, absorbing her landing. The Stuck-In Place had been a tar pit. Avery spread the tar, like this. Maybe weaker, because it came from Kennet found and not the Stuck-In Place. But it helped catch the Wolf where she’d been casually scratching and tearing through the wall. - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.1</ref> |

Chronology
It's origin is unknown.
It was gifted given to Avery by the Garricks as part of their payment for information on The Promenade.
Avery combined this with the Gate Goggles practice to find a version of the always subjective Paths that she could use in a given predicament.
