Umbrella && Violence

I know that adding stuff onto the alchemiter allows for you to see what you’re going to make with your punched cards before you make it.

I know that the Recipe Modus lets you see the alchemy recipes for the items you have and that the Pictionary Modus lets you make punchable ghost images to alchemize items you don’t physically have.

But I really like the idea of having a portable way to find out how to alchemize the items you already have and to get the stuff you need to do so all in one place.

So, I present to you an alchemist’s best friend: the PictRecipe Modus.

Made by combining a Recipe Modus (array modus && recipe book) and a Pictionary Modus (array modus && drawing tablet) in a fetch modus control deck, then proceeding to alchemize the physical recipe book and the scribble pad together.

Upon opening the front (red) half first, your captchalogue cards will make up the pages of the book all the way through to the back. The back side of every card-page will display the item’s recipe and grist cost like it’s a regular Recipe Modus, ghost images included. Items can be plucked from any card-page at any time as long as they’re usable. Ghost card-pages can be removed for punching but their items are still stuck.

If you open the back (green) half first, all card-pages will display their item’s code on the back instead of a recipe. The back cover will go from having a scribblepad’s design printed on it to being a working scribblepad with buttons and all. The logo on the front of the book will also turn into a physical stylus-spoon that twists open to reveal spare nibs inside. It’s then possible to use the scribblepad to captchalogue nearby items or create ghost images of items that aren’t present, exactly the way you would with a Pictionary Modus.
