Masquerose

A curious magical plant, Masqueroses are believed to have been bred by a particularly green-fingered student of Scholomance. Silvery and pale in colour, even down to the stems, Masqueroses are parasitic, latching onto the roots of other nearby plants for energy. However, their magical qualities are particular. Masqueroses can detect the changing emotions of those it is in frequent contact with and then depict them upon the petals of their flowers. It is said that they were bred for the use they are most often applied to in the modern day: aiding in therapy for people who have trouble opening up about their emotions.

Masqueroses are surprisingly hardy, given their inability to survive without another plant to parasitise, but provided they have such a plant they can survive just about any soil type and weather, though the plant they parasitise may not be so lucky. Provided they receive reasonable nutrients Masqueroses can and do bloom multiple times a year, and can thrive in areas with high amounts of ambient magic. For this reason a number of magical schools and other intensely magical areas often grow Masqueroses, of which cuttings are then sold on to therapists in need of the plants.

The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj, is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working.

The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town Hall in the Old Town Square. The clock mechanism itself is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; “The Walk of the Apostles”, a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures, notably a figure of Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.

“Real magic can never be made by offering up someone else’s liver. You must tear out your own, and not expect to get it back. The true witches know that.”
