Universal Charge Pillow

Charging pillow · Charge pillow

Pillows that drain enchantments out of hats and load them into Donut's tiara.

Story so far

Katia works a small assembly line of charging pillows in Carl's kitchen, pulling two of Donut's now-drained hats off them and placing Donut's Tiara on each pillow in turn to soak up their buffs. She then sets a plastic baseball hat Carl has never seen before onto a pillow — it supposedly carries the Steady skill, which Donut doesn't have.

One catch-all pillow is left empty for the moment, and Carl and Katia agree that for the next one the pillow should be placed in a different room. Each cycle transfers whatever the hat carried into the tiara's Absorption Jewels, good buffs and wasted ones alike.

Appearance

Small pillows on which a hat or tiara rests while its enchantments transfer.

Role

The mechanism that strips buffs out of headgear and consolidates them into Donut's tiara.
