Do not over-tighten the pipes, or pressure can build and cause leaks. Nobody likes scalding hot blood gas in their eyes. -PM

A set of rusty copper pipes and a schematic for improving the Byzantine Labyrinth organ chamber. Allows the user to harden their body with Ancient Blood an additional 5 times.

Assuming the user has already upgraded the organ chamber once, this schematic and set of pipes will allow the user to harden their body an additional 5 times.

The filthy finger of a living corpse.

She's calling herself the First Witch now...

The enlarged heart of a living corpse.

A brass sculpture depicting a closed eye.

When the eye is pierced by a needle, the surrounding environment is unaffected by the curse regardless of how cursed the wearer is.

She's too scared to use magic. So we'll make it a bit less scary. Shame she'll miss out on all that cursed treasure though.

An eye sculpture flecked with hot white cursed energy. The eye can be pierced with a needle to produce a curious effect.

When fully cursed, the world appears as normal. With no curse build up, the world appears as if one was fully cursed.

Lucky that you brought these dolls with you, Priscilla. The fire consumed all of my old toys. Had I been more nostalgic when we moved, perhaps they would have been saved.

Prime it and take pictures with care.

Photographing a spirit will trap them.

What is Dafydd doing in this picture? He's supposed to be laying traps for these cursed rodents, not peering through windows.

The wretch paid me 3 coins for my blood this evening. What is he even doing with all that blood?

Drink the "Drink Me" potion to return to normal size.

A book filled with dense, inscrutable scribbles of ink.

A note slipped between the cover and first page reads:

Blackett House was largely abandoned after Robert and Margaret fully moved into Mostyn House. But the lights were on last night...

A vial of white powder. Used by Robert Blackett to wake his experiments after surgery was over.

A crude map of a maze beneath Mostyn House is sketched on the last page. The very bottom floor is circled, and a curious phrase is written:
