The Amber Spyglass
Object
A viewing instrument crafted by Mary Malone from lacquered seed-pod sap that allows the user to see Dust (sraf) directly. Through the spyglass, Dust appears as golden streams of particles flowing through the air, settling on adults, animals, and the natural world. Mary uses it to observe the catastrophic outflow of Dust from the multiverse and to understand the role consciousness plays in sustaining reality.
