“Each bean holds a universe of magic. Or possibly just gas.”

— The bean catalogue

Attention, and be warned!

These beans were found on the land, near the hag stones, along with a note from a council of frogs and a rather suspicious wizard. They are unpredictable. They are sparkly. One keeper's bean sprouted a prophecy. The mischief bean demanded cake. Bean #27 must never be given unsupervised glitter.

If your right earlobe tingled just now, you may be one of the destined. The enchantments are binding.

Spilling the beans

The Bean of Bold BeginningsBean no. 1

The Bean of Bold Beginnings

Plant it under a blue moon, announce your greatest wish to no one in particular, and stare meaningfully at the sky. Results depend on dramatic flair.

Bean of Whimsical LuckBean no. 2

Bean of Whimsical Luck

Keep it in your pocket and you'll soon stumble on something you weren't looking for — hidden treasure, or a library card from six years ago.

The Mischief BeanBean no. 3

The Mischief Bean

Hide it in the sock drawer of someone who deserves a giggle. The bearer gets one dramatic flourish per day, no questions asked (see clause W of the bean contract).

The Self-Growth SproutBean no. 4

The Self-Growth Sprout

Place it near something that smells nice, say your affirmation out loud — “I attract warmth, wit, and weirdos I adore” — then make a cup of tea.

The Abundance BeanBean no. 5

The Abundance Bean

To attract wealth, keep it in your shoe for one day. The goblins insisted. Nobody knows why.

Bean of Sweet DreamsBean no. 6

Bean of Sweet Dreams

Keep it on your nightstand and dream of bold first moves. Whisper a flirty line to it, then wink at someone tomorrow. If it's awkward, blame the bean.

What comes with the bean?

Every bean comes with its own tiny contract, plus magic and mayhem. A container is available, and strongly recommended — Bean #11 bit someone.

No two beans are alike, but they're all connected. The forge catalogues each one and honours their requests to travel and grant wishes and whimsy.
