Impression Blocker

Enchantment
Seeker (p. 105) and related spells require an object associated with the
item or person sought in order to work. The Impression Blocker
Enchantment creates a container that allows people to carry items without
them becoming “associated” with the carrier.
An object in a closed blocker container retains the impressions it had
when the container was shut. If removed, handled briefly, and
replaced, the object will acquire a very faint impression of the handler, but it
won’t be enough for a Seeker spell unless the handler does so once a day for
decades. It is possible for an object in a blocker container still to be useful;
for example, a book open to an important page, and stored in a glass con-
tainer, can still be read! At sufficiently advanced tech levels, a “waldo” or
remote-manipulation box can be enchanted, allowing handling of the
object without opening the box.
In some settings, these containers can also be used to preserve evidence.
If an object is owned for one person for a long time, and then transferred
to a new owner, the original owner’s impressions may wear off. A blocker
container preserves the original owner’s impressions. (In other set-
tings, impressions never wear off; they just accumulate, so an item can be
used to cast Seeker on any previous owner.)

Energy cost to cast: 20 per pound of capacity, minimum 20.
Prerequisites: Enchant (VH), Seeker, and Scrywall.
