  • If you are a reader at all, I want to recommend the novella “The Emperor’s Soul” by Brandon Sanderson. It’s a fantasy story where the magic is all based around the carving of these types of seals, that are then called soulstamps, and used to alter an object’s history. So for a very basic example, one might carve a seal that indicates, “I am a chair, I have always been a chair,” and whatever other signifiers make up the soul of a chair, then you stamp a trash can with that seal, and if it’s good enough, it overwrites the history/soul of the trash can and it becomes a chair.

    Or don’t, this hobby just instantly reminded me of that book though.
