Services
Blessings
Whether to keep one safe on the road, a blessing of good harvest, or anything in-between or outside of the box-Sacha can provide aetherial bounty to you-for a price.
Traveller's luck and blessing begins at simply 30 Gil-the price will depend upon the tax of bounty.
Gil is not the only currency they are willing to trade for, given bartering trade of interesting items is also welcome.
Curse Removal
Have a horror looming over your head? Fallen on hard times with an ex? Been hexed by walking nonchalantly into too many secret, sunken tombs?Experienced with curses and hexing issues, your burden might be alleviated-if not removed.The burden of a heavy curse may increase the price, depending on the amount of sessions-however, many simple hexes simply need unravelling by loose threads.Inquire within.
Seance/Communing
Experienced in the art of sifting through remnants of the aetherial sea, Sacha can-for good pay or trade-seek out a loved one, a missing individual, or simply information, to see if they can pull the fragments loose for mere moments-requesting of information or discussion.Full séance may require them to be within their workspace-however simple communing for information may be settled at their booth.Communing with other spiritual influences may require visiting places of their certain lurking, and does not come cheap.If seeking a certain individual, an item of their belongings or a piece of the individual is beneficial to the process of seeking their aetherial trace.
Exorcism
The removal of a negative spirit or voidsent possession from either an individual, object, or place.
Price can vary depending on the strength of the possessing entity, and the vessel. Living creatures or individuals can be much harder to de-possess, and the traces of the possession will remain on the host for quite a long time, if not for the remainder of their life.This act is never done lightly, and can be costly of not just gil, but time and energy. It may require multiple attempts as to not force the subject and cause them harm.Depending on subject of exorcism, this may have to be done in xer private space.
Haruspicy/Bone-Reading
Fearing ill weather ahead?
Curious about your impending future?
If you've a curious heart and a keen eye for the future, simple offerings may be made in exchange for bone reading-or, if well offered and asked for, haruspicy.*The latter must be done after the markets, further out into Thanalan-but may provide in depth results.*Please provide your own animal.
Other Services
(This list, ICly, is under utter secrecy/for those 'in the know'.)
Necromancy
If missing a loved one in truly.heart-wrenching manner, or simply wishing to have an extra hand around the house, Sacha is experienced with the arts of reanimation-with a natural skill for it since they were young.For a large sum, or trade of interest, they may pull an individual free of the aetherial sea-or summon a voidsent as asked-and bind them into pact with you, to strict terms.This is costly, especially on part of summoning voidsent into vessels-as the voidsent require aether to be traded in exchange for services.Thus, the cost will be high.Do not set to turn around and use their service against them, as it will have drastic effects.
Soul-binding
In a similar fashion to reanimation, Sacha may bind fragments of a soul to an item-pulling their aether into a tight thread around an object, to the benefit-or detriment-of the wielder.This is not as time-consuming, however it is still taxing on their aether; An offering is required in such service.If seeking a particular individual, a piece of them or their belongings is advised to bring.
Pact Binding
If you wish to make a deal in definite, or keep another safe from afar.Pact-binding is the act of tying one's aether to another-their souls briefly interlinked, until certain conditions are met.In this manner, one can have Sacha bind someone to a deal in which repercussions for going back on it are obvious-or, in a lighter note, bind the damage of one's aether to the other's-therefore allowing each to mend the other from afar through aetheric healing.This is a necromantic art, and thus is forbidden in city states-to be kept under utter secrecy.

Twining Luck
A pendant with a bound and polished circle of cinnabar-said to bring luck- with copper wiring intricately twined and bound around it in the form of a knotted tree.
It glints pale craters in moonlight, throughout the flaws of the cinnabar.
-Always in stock.
Fate Coins
Each of these coins bears a dual face of sun and moon-said to help one in decision of their fate; And to aid in prediction of future events.
A faint flit of warmth bears upon them-the sun side always warm within the palm, while the moon side remains consistently cool to the touch.
-Always in stock.
Hydra's Vigor
The coils of the snake along this lighter seem to imperceptably move and shift, as though it's constricting the box within in last moments from its' head's severing.This lighter, while able to act mundane, also bears the ability of survival; When one is severely injured, aether can be channeled into it to turn its' simple flicker into a gout of flame, used to cauterize the wound in a healing blaze-though not without the pain of it, in exchange for a burst of energy to overcome your struggle.(At the beginning of each month, it must be fed 5 drops of the owner's blood, directly into the oil that pools within-no more, no less.)
Swallowtail Bracer
A beautiful bracer of worn metal, easily bent to match the wrist of the bearer-it's surprisingly smooth to the touch, as though making contact with featherdown. You feel lighter on your feet in contact with it, a breeze sweeping past you, a supporting hand upon your upper arm.This bracer is able to rescue its' owner if falling from a great height-activating with a request, or when you are struck airborne for longer than necessary-wind aether cushioning your fall, and carrying you safely to the ground. This may activate twice, before the bracer needs to rest and recharge its' reserves.
Shrouding Maw
When holding this box, each bump of its' sun-warmed surface feels akin to a living creature, settled in your palms-almost as though it could leap from your fingers back onto the table.After being bonded with, this box will be able to contain a number of small items. When another person opens the box, however, it will seem utterly empty-as though the toad had utterly devoured the items; Keeping the insides safe from pilfering.It must be fed with three or more aether shards each day, for it to relinquish the items it keeps.
(Its' favorite appears to be water shards.)
Siren Flask
An intricately carved bottle, blue as seafoam. Looking too long at it seems to leave you with a lingering sense of melancholy, a sweeping flutter of sadness that clings to your form. It smells faintly of Althyk lavender, despite having clearly been thoroughly cleaned.If perfume is placed into this bottle, when used on an individual creates an air of intrigue-naturally drawing the eye and curious inquiry towards them.
If a drink is, instead, placed into it and drunk, the user's voice will become sweet to the ear, and they will be able to sing as prettily as a nightingale.(Be careful not to use it too constantly, as it may cause a sink in the user's emotions if overimbibed.)
Snapshot Vial
(Reserved: Delkling Asjael)
Though this small silver container, about as tall as a man's finger, seems perfectly mundane, its' blank placard shimmers slightly, in the angles of the light-the barest shifting inscriptions of what seems unreadable words fleeting across polished silver.Anything placed within this vial will be perfectly preserved-both in temperature and state of decay-liquids will stay their temperature, perishables will not decompose-as though they are held perfectly still by Althyk's firm hand upon the clock.(Please be sure to clean it out after each use.)
Assassin's Bane
(Sold)
Marbling patterns span across this vial's surface, forming what seems a myriad of a singular withered face, contorted and distorted upon the cloudy markings. Touching upon its' surface gives you a slight sense of unease, as though the item itself is unsure of you.
This vessel bears the ability of detection; A single drop of water from it placed within your drink will find trace of poison, or meddling, within your glass-however, you must be wearing the ring attached to the lid when using the item-and must keep it close by for up to three days, to allow it to properly bond to its' keeper.
(It is highly advised to fill it purely with water from wellspring crystals, as that is the purest available, and will not cause and muddling of effects.)
Sunlight Pendant (1)
A round disc of roughly hewn gold, molded with delicate strokes into an emblazoning sun-with a tilt into the sunlight, it glints bright enough to draw your eyes, a comfortable warmth radiating from it.These pendants each offer the bearer aid in the snowy reaches; Those who wear it will remain perfectly comfortable in freezing temperatures, as though another shares their warmth with the one wearing it.(It is advised not to wear it in warmer climes, as it may lead to overheating.)
Wanderer's Guide
Your eyes find themselves drawn to this odd ring-a feeling as though the gentle warmth of a cloak descends upon your shoulders in touching it, akin to something gifted by familiar kindness.A guide in the darkest of nights, blessed by Menphina-this ring, upon uttering a wish of sight, will glow vividly, without need for fuel-and, if in need of safety or shelter, can emit a bright wisp that will lead you away from dangers and onto a true path-you need only follow it's gentle glow as one would follow Menphina's moonlight to a loved one's arms.(This ring does best when worn often-it is a rather sentimental piece.)
Loyalty
A heavy presence of aether lingers about this old, carved piece-a bangle with a detachable stone in the middle. When you touch it, you swear you can feel something soft leaning against your hip, akin to an animal.When this stone is taken from the bangle and placed into a piece upon your animal companion, it will always guide you to find them if needed, aware of their location-and they will be able to find you, as well. The accompanying item upon them cannot be removed while the stone is fitted.(Cats may take some time to get used to it.)
Razored Insight
Looking at the needle-sharp tip of this pendant, your skin starts to prickle...When this pendant is removed from its' clasps, and fed upon either a meager toll of aether or a prick of blood, one can ask it a question-or ask it to seek something for the bearer, whereupon it must be held flat in the palm-spinning, until it finds that which it seeks-or an answer in decision-to respond to its' bonded.If a simple yes/no question, it will either correspond with the direction of your center finger(Yes) or horizontal with your palm (No). If the answer is more complicated, it will point towards the best answer it believes for the question.If offered a toll without a question asked, it will point towards the closest thing it can find that the holder seeks with their full heart.(It is also very handy for self defense, in a pinch!)
Sunburst Clasp
This piece has a number of small hooks-able to be used as a brooch, a pendant, or otherwise-your hand feels warm, just hovering over it.This piece of jewellery bears a charged light-aligned fire crystal to allow for better channeling-and, upon being activated with a command word, will unleash all of the absorbed sunlight from the crystal outwards in a blinding flash-allowing the wearer to escape danger and to stun any in the immediate area who are susceptible to blindness.(Please ensure to wear this on the outside of your clothing-and to let it rest in the morning sunlight, to recharge.)
Careful Coils
Upon simple contact with the item, you feel a lingering sense of paranoia-as though you can hear keener, see clearer-as though a hand rests upon your shoulder from someone looking in the other direction, covering your blind spots.This crystalline amulet bears a keen eye out for its' bonded owner-growing cloudy when in presence of one who speaks or intends ill of its' wearer, becoming a milky white in close proximity.
Truly, a noble's best friend.(This amulet must be kept in the best condition, and worn often-if the cords upon it break, it is heavily advised to repair, not replace, and to leave it unmodified.)
Fathomless Inkwell
This crystal clear inkwell glimmers in the sunlight-though each facet of its' intricate carving seems to glint dark, at the right angles. Upon touching it, you feel a well of inspiration in your chest, as though spurred on by some reservoir of creativity.When filled with water, this inkwell will change it into ink almost immediately-with a source that seems never in need of replenishment, as long as you continue to write. It bears an encouragement to its' owner, wishing to become part of their next masterpiece-and if the water is coloured, it will change the ink accordingly.(Though you will not have to replenish it when in use, ensure to refill it to the brim as you sit down to begin writing, and open the lid. Otherwise it will seek the liquid it requires elsewhere for its' purpose.)
