After, the user must open the sketchbook to a blank page and begin sketching out all of the parts required to replace the damaged or missing pieces in the damaged object. Upon completing the drawings, the user must pluck the items out of their notebook in the form of a thick putty-like blob. The blob swirls with an inky blackness before eventually taking shape and form as a proper permanent piece to fix or replace damaged or missing parts. The repaired or missing piece will fling toward the object the user intends to fix- watching as that item flies to its intended spot and sticks itself right where it needs to be.
This ritual is fragile- if the user is unable to finish it in its entirety, the repaired parts will melt back into ink and mold into the Hollow Choir.
When it comes to powering the object, The Well temporarily inhabits and possesses the object, operating it through sheer force of will.

Taking the appearance of a delicately prepared meal, it clear to see that it is finesse on a plate.

A gift from Louis's first serious critic who taught him the secrets to truly great food meant using ingredients beyond the pale. The meals that Louis prepares though incredibly delicious can only truly be appreciated by the hungry, and when there is a void to fill the magic of the meal seeks to satiate in ways that defy logic.
