## Modern Magical Objects

### Magic Blockers

There are various different types of magical blockers that seem to each target a different type of magic. For example, the magical blockers that were used on Bendy were metallic bands with Demon script on them that weren't even that tight around his wrists. In contrast the ones used on the Cupbros completely incased their whole hands. Regardless of their varying appearance each of these items prevents the individual from using their magic once it is placed on them. It is currently unknown whether these blockers only work on inherently magical species or if they would also hinder someone like Holly who uses runes instead of inherent magical abilities (Ch 142).

### Cala's Pearls

Cala has magical pearls that, once thrown into the water, will summon her to that body of water no matter the physical distance (Ch 80). The body of water the pearl is thrown into doesn't even have to be connected to the sea in order to summon her, as she has been shown to be able to appear in locations such as a bathtub (Ch 159). On Cala's side of this summoning process she sees a light surrounding a "Surface portal" appear before her, which she then swims through to get to the pearl's location (Ch 90). From the summoner's side the water that the pearl is thrown into will glow a soft blue-green light before swirling into a portal. Cala also isn't the only one who can come through the portal as others who are near her have been shown to be able to come through the portal as well (Ch 159).

### Cloud Candies

Cloud Candies are an Angel sweet that, when eaten, makes the person significantly lighter. While the user does not become weightless this drastic decrease in weight allows a normal individual to jump as high as six stories in the air with little trouble. The candies themselves look like small pearl-like balls that also weigh very little. When eaten the candy melts across the tongue with a sweet, creamy flavor. Cloud candies are readily available in candy shops in the Upper and are seen as fairly common sweets (Ch 236).

### Magma Surfing Boards

These boards are used by the Demons of Hell to magma surf along the various magma flows that can be found in their wastelands. They are bullet shaped with six inch high sides that has grooves on the inside of it to keep out/catch the magma so that it doesn't harm the Demons riding it. It is made out of a unknown, opalescent material that Bendy states looks like some kind of stone or shell. The boards are enchanted be completely cool and magma-proof so that the riders won't even feel the heat of the magma under their feet. While the boards do get scorch marks from the magma they are still completely smooth and undamaged after multiple uses. These boards are usually used with metal paddles that have one flat end and one handled end. These paddles are used to help maneuver around the magma on the board. These boards and paddles are left on the sides of magma flows and are open for any Demon to come up to grab and use (Ch 311).

## Modern Runed Objects

### Holly's Rune Bracelets

Holly's bracelets are magical objects of her own creation that have various Micco runes sewn on them, allowing Holly to use that specific rune anywhere almost immediately without having to take the time to draw it out. The most common of these is her Fade bracelet, which she created to use when she was spying on Fairfax so that she could use it constantly (Inky Extra's Ch 40). After testing a few runes to see which were effective against Ink Illness Holly also began creating Joy rune bracelets to help the sick, which many of the victims took to wearing. For example, Finley often wore one (Ch 123). Holly explains that these bracelets work because even though she is the one writing the rune it is a different individual who actually uses the activator to fuel the rune's magic. The runes tap into the energy of the soul that reaches out to it or, in the case of long term runes like the bracelets, uses energy from the living things in the environment around it to help fuel the magic (Inky Extra's 110). Some other rune bracelets Holly has made are Barrier, Light and Electricity (Ch 206).

### Angel-Locating Map

Holly created this map during her experimentation with the Ink Machine Map and was part of her attempts to find the Angel who originally gave the B-Bros the map. It is a regular tourist map of Toon Town that uses a combination of the Ink Machine Map's runes, the Day rune and the Riding rune (Inky Extra's Ch 50). When the runes of this map are activated multiple golden dots of light will appear that indicate the real-time location of all the Angels, fallen or otherwise, in Toon Town. Even if an Angel is actively concealing their halos/magic, this map can locate them. Even when Alice was separated from her halo entirely Holly was able to use the map to find her. This is a remarkable feat of runic magic and has the potential to pose a great danger to the Angelic population of Toon Town since there are many who would like nothing more than to capture an Angel. After being warned of this danger Holly added a fire rune to the map that can be activated in order to burn it in case of emergency (Ch 129).

### Magic Compacts/Watches

Holly and Alice created these runed compacts during the effort to find the Dark Circus (Ch 144), while the watches were made in preparation for the Questers journey into the Labyrinth. They were made by using magically heated embroidery needles to etch the runes (Angelic and possibly Micco) into the metal (Ch 167). One side of these are watches, while the other side is a mirror which allows them to magically communicate with and view each other (Ch 168), meanwhile, the compacts are just designed like normal makeup compacts would be. All the runes are hidden behind the mirrors, meaning that they don't look any different then regular watches/compacts. However, if the mirror is broken they are unable to communicate with the others, though as long as the runes are still active they can still use the connection to find the broken device (Ch 144). When the watches are created the mirrors can also show a map with the locations of any of the other watches/compacts, represented by dots (Ch 168).

Since the compacts/watches are linked to each other there is a magical pull that the user can feel which can lead them to the other watches/compacts if needed. This connection is created by the runes continuously passively feeding on magic from the user, although when activity occurs the user may feel a slight tug on their soul due to more magic being used. Holly also mentions that they will heat up, as if they have been left out in the sun for while, and that it is possible to hear someone talking through them even if they haven't been opened (Ch 145). However strong magic is shown to be able to interfere with the watches magic and make them unable to function correctly, as shown by their malfunctioning within the Labyrinth (Ch 171). When activity occurs, such as one watch sending a message to another, the watch/compact will heat up slightly to inform the user (Ch 145). Seven of these were created, one for each of the questers, one for Holly and one for Alice. The watches were also given personalized engravings (Ch 168)-

* Bendy's has an elaborate B with two horns and a tail on the edges
* Boris's has a B and a wolf tail on the side
* Cuphead's has a C engraved within a cup, matching his cigarette case
* Mugman's has an M with a scarf wrapped around it
* Felix's has an F and airplane wings

### Runed Lanterns

These are Christmas gifts given to each of the Questers by Holly. These lanterns, as well as providing light, can heat up a room and are adjustable (Ch 135).

### Felix's Magic Bag

The exact origin of Felix's magic bag is unknown though he has had it for years, long before meeting many of the key IM characters (Ch 181). The bag, while Felix usually has it in the form of a fanny pack with a pattern of X's and dots on it clipped around his waist, can shapeshift into almost anything. For example, Felix has transformed it into a hairdryer (Ch 78), a inflatable rubber raft (Ch 79) and a motorcycle (Ch 87) to name just a few. There is no consistent action that Felix performs that cause the bag to shapeshift so it seems to be purely based on Felix's thoughts and wants. Felix also mentions that the bag, no matter what form it is in, is unbreakable (Ch 165). The bag also seems to have unlimited storage capacity even for items that are too big to possible fit into a fanny pack, such as a battle ax (Ch 78). It has been occasionally shown that when Felix reaches into the bag to retrieve something a splash of stars also come out of it (Ch 79).

The bag also seems to have a level of sentience to it, enough that it will loyally return to Felix when separated from him. Felix claims that “Doesn’t matter where you lock it up or how far you take it. That bag always finds its way back to me.” (Ch 108) It's been mentioned that, in order to truly permanently separate Felix from the bag, he would have to willingly leave it (Ch 181). However, the bag as been shown to be able to voluntarily leave Felix if it disagrees with his actions. When doing this the bag shifts to a carpet bag form, grows four legs and can even show emotions such as contempt for the offending action. Felix has also mentioned that the bag has a rules which, if broken, will also cause the bag to leave him (Ch 194). While the bag was shown to eventually return to Felix after a few days when it had "forgiven" him for his offending actions it is unknown if it would return after one of it's rules is broken (Ch 203). The exact rules of the bag are unknown, all though Felix has mentioned that he's not supposed to put living things into the bag even though he can get away with doing it for a few minutes (Ch 103).

### Michael Bradley's Shirt

Michael's shirt isn't actually a shirt, it's a magical piece of fabric that he most often wears as a shirt. When Michael first found this artifact it was in the form of a blanket in the ruins atop a snowy mountain. This blanket form was what kept Michael alive on the mountain as the fabric keeps him perfectly hot or cold at all times (Ch 194). The fabric can also unravel into thread and then re-stitch itself back together as needed. This thread is very strong as Michael was shown using it to derail a speeding train (Ch 188). The shirt also seems to protect him from physical damage somewhat as well, though the extent of this protection is currently unknown. It is also unknown the limitations of it's transformative abilities since, as stated above, it was in the form of a blanket large enough to cover Michael when he found it but when it was taken from Michael for a time it shrunk down to the size of a handkerchief (Ch 195).

### Idol Of The Spirit-Switcher

This idol, as the name implies, can switch individual spirits between bodies. The idol is a cylindrical statue that's appearance gives it the approximate look of having two faces on either side of it. each of these two "faces" has a nose and two large jewel eyes. Jewels lining the top and bottom of the statues also gives the appearance of a hat and a collar (Ch 115). The idol only works in specific circumstances, it needs to be electrocuted and the individuals must be looking at it in order for it to swap their spirits (Ch 117). When activated it glows a bright blue light and all those effected by it stiffen up (Ch 115). Once the idol switches the souls there is a twenty-four hour in which the effects can be reversed before they become permanent (Ch 116).

### Adder Stones

Adder stones are small, usually smooth stones with a hole in the middle. By looking through the hole in the middle of the stone one is able to see things hidden by magical means. For example, looking through the stone allowed Holly to see the runic spell on a large rock that had been hidden with the same glamour spell Angels typically use to hide their halos/wings. It is currently unknown how adder stones are made and where to find them but, judging by Holly's reaction to seeing one, they don't appear to be common magic items (Ch 284).

### Kraken's Eye

The Kraken's Eye is a magical object that can show a person the actions of another individual (Inky Extra's Ch 73).

### Messenger Angel's Trumpets

These trumpets are a messenger Angel's greatest weapon. The trumpets are simple in appearance, with just a singular loop before the opening. These horns allow the messengers to use an ability known as the war cry. The war cry in a single deep reverberating note that can shake the surrounding area and even bring down city walls if enough messengers do it at once. According to Jake it has been used to turn the tides of battle in the past (Ch 214).

### Soul Contracts

How deals with Demons are sealed between them and others, who then become debtors. All of the rules, promises and requirements that the Demon and debtor are bound by are recorded on this paper. These contracts can be made for a variety of reasons besides just obtaining the debtor's soul, the only constant being that it is an exchange between the Demon and the debtor. Other reasons for making a soul contract are to have the debtor collect a certain amount of souls for the Demon or to have them do some other form of work (Inky Extra's Ch 109). Once a soul contract is signed the soul of the debtor, though continuing to reside inside their body, is now tied to the contract and by extension the Demon's magic (Ch 148). Soul contracts are held by the debtor to who they belong until they break the rules of the contract or complete the terms set in it. Soul contracts can be negotiated and rewritten after they are completed. Debtors are fiercely protective of their contracts as whoever has theirs essentially owns their soul.

Once a soul contract is made, the Demon legally owns that soul until the contract is completed, assuming it's not a life-long contract. This means that if the debtor does anything to break their contract or fail in the Demon in some way the Demon is legally allowed to punish them since the debtor is their legal property (Ch 148). Demons view soul contracts as very valuable and will attempt to acquire as many soul contracts as possible. Soul contracts are actually considered so valuable to Demons that the act of stealing soul contracts is one of the few things illegal in Hell. However, making soul contracts is not something that can be done by every Demon as the Demon attempting to make the contract must be powerful enough to bind the soul in question. This means that only middle-class Demons and higher can make contracts (Inky Extra's Ch 109).

When writing a contract many Demons will also often include loopholes or extra stipulations to the soul contract when creating it in order to gain more from the victim. If the debtor dies before having their contract collected and there is no clause written in regarding death then the contract dissolves and the debtor's soul goes free (Inky Extra's Ch 109). Out of all Demons, The Devil's contracts in particular are infamous for being terrifying even by Demon standards (Inky Extra's Ch 89).

Scholars believe that the soul contract system was first invented when Demons began walking on the Surface again after the signing of the treaty. This would mean they are only a few millennia old but there is no confirmation on whether this is true or if soul contracts were also used in the time before the war (Ch 151).

## Ancient Runed Objects

### The Runes of Peace

The Runes of Peace are a stained glass magical mural located in the main building at Yen Sid University, created by Yen Sid himself when he established the school (Ch 21). The mural itself is about 200 years old according to Black Hat (Inky Extra's Ch 109). The mural is two sections working together, one is a stained glass mural on the domed ceiling of the building and the other is a tile mural on the floor below. The stained glass mural contains images of magical creatures and runes that shine down onto the tile mural. The tile mural works in tandem with the light from the stained glass, causing the symbols to change and the creatures to appear to move somewhat. Together these two pieces work to make a whole picture, as well as allowing the magic to work as intended ( Ch 21).

The Runes of Peace were placed on campus, along with various other runes, for the peace and protection of the students and staff there. Specifically, the mural is meant to attract peace, calm and focus while repelling anger, fear and dark thoughts (Ch 21). Holly also explains that the mural can "see" things such as an individuals talent, morals, magic and even possibly the state of their soul. From this information the mural then determines whether the person is "good" or "bad", which then determines the experience that person has once they step into the light of the mural (Ch 23). For those deemed "good" the often feel comforted, warm, calm and at peace (Ch 21). For those on the "bad" end of things they feel cold, hollow and as if they are falling when they step into the light. Holly does clarify that feeling this awful feelings when in the light does not necessary make someone a bad person. The mural could be reacting to guilt/regret an individual may have or ill intentions they feel towards others. Both the "good" and "bad" feelings are only temporary for as long as an individual stays in the light of the mural, all though the experience itself tends to stick in the minds of those who experience it (Ch 23). Whether one is organized into the "good" or "bad" category the first time they enter the mural does not mean they are stuck with that label forever. As a person grows, changes and learns they can switch between categories. For instance, Mugs was in the "bad" category the first time he stepped into the light and felt the horrible cold falling feeling. However, after making friends with the Questers and beginning to help others Mugs re-entered the light and, though he still felt weighed down, he also felt a warmth and calm that he hadn't the first time. It is believed that this change is because the mural can show an individual what their soul thinks of itself and Mugs had a better view of himself after beginning to help the Questers (Ch 100) Holly explains this as the mural showing you what your soul feels about itself (Ch 98).

A individual's relationship with magic and nature also changes how the mural affects them. Those more inclined to magic, either through their race or talent, feel the effects of the mural light much more strongly then those who are more connected to the physical aspects of the world. For example, Bendy strongly felt the effects of the light and was even aware of the magical energy buzzing around it while Boris said he couldn't feel anything more then normal sunlight (Ch 21). The mural also seems to react strongly to the magic of The Parts as Connie mentions that it seemed to stop The Cog's effects of Holly for a moment while she was at the university (Ch 94).

### Angel Weaponry

Angel weaponry has Angelic runes not only carved into them but can also be forged in runed fire. For instance, Isaac's sword was forged in runed fire for purification before light runes were carved into the steel of the blade and the hilt. This infuses the weapons with light magic, making them very effective at fighting Demons or other dark creatures (Inky Extra's Ch 75).

### Cog Watch

While under the Cog's powers Holly summoned a mysterious silver ornate pocket watch (Inky Extra's Ch 74). The watch is a round object made of smooth metal (Ch 204). Across it's back is spiraling, intricate Micco runes. Engraved on Its front is the runic signature of Amish's forge, suggesting that he was the one who created it (Ch 304). There is also a knob on the side of the watch that can be used to adjust the time. This knob can be pulled off to reveal a needle-like point beneath it. The origin of the watch, besides its connection to Amish, is currently shrouded in mystery as Holly points out that despite the ancient Micco runes on it the watch itself does not appear old (Ch 206).

Within the Labyrinth, the watch always seemed to show the incorrect time, even after its hands were adjusted to the correct settings, though it is possible that this is because of the temporal anomalies inherent within the Labyrinth (Ch 205). The most notable ability of this watch is its power to allow the user to travel through time. By pulling the knob out the hands are stopped, then winding them back allows an individual to travel backwards in time. This process seems to take a lot out of the person who uses it, as immediately after she travels a not-insignificant amount of time backwards Holly collapses in exhaustion (Ch 211). When using this ability after altering the hands and pushing in the knob it makes a distinctive clicking sound before the sound of ticking loudly fills the individual's ears. It should be noted that before Holly was shown using this ability she accidentally pricked her finger on the needle hidden within the knob (Ch 206). The watch also seems to have an odd effect on the magic of The Instrument, as Holly was able to easily escape the Labyrinth after she used it (Ch 206). In fact, this watch seems to have an odd effect on many different forms of magic that it comes in contact with. When it accidentally came in connection with a water-producing array crafted by Holly it actually produced Ink Illness ink instead of water and Felix's magic bag actually refused having the cog watch placed inside of it (Ch 284).
