A black field threaded with silver streaks and studded with buried gemstones, like beauty trying to outvote decay. Corruptum carries a visible fault: a dark root where the streaks stop, and a lone white holdout where the spread has not yet reached. Keep it where you need to see what’s compromised, what’s still clean, and what must be defended. A slow quarter turn tests the boundary and clarifies your next containment move.

Special Instructions:

• Begin with a perimeter check: tap the table once, then say, “Identify the root.”

• Place Corruptum with the black spot facing you for two breaths. Rotate clockwise one click to map the spread.

• Turn the white spot upward and whisper, “Hold.” Let it sit elevated on a single coaster for one minute.

• If the corruption feels loud, trace the edge of the black spot without crossing into it, then lift your finger away like breaking a seal.

• For decisive moments, touch one embedded gemstone and say, “Witness.” Rotate counterclockwise one click to lock the ruling.

• After resolution, set it in a clean dish or on blank paper and leave it untouched for sixty heartbeats.
