Travel to Innovation
The plane of Innovation is small, private and overseen by the god Gimmick. Access to the plane is not possible via plane-shift or other similar magics. Instead, a prospective visitor must invent their own method of travel, usually combining technology with arcane forces. This limits access to the plane almost exclusively to artificers and other tinkerers.
Discovery
As the plane of Innovation was created by Gimmick, the method of travel was seeded by the god himself. This means that travel - usually via a portal - is rediscovered by every being who receives inspiration. This inspiration usually strikes shortly after a person creates a different, noteworthy invention.Access/Availability
While in theory anyone could reach the plane of Innovation, it is a closely guarded secret forbidden to outsiders. It is considered deeply taboo to share the secrets of travel with the uninitiated. Once a being travels to the plane of Innovation, they are given the plans for a perfectly reliable, pocket-sized device to replace their initial method.Complexity
Creating a device that can allow one to travel to the plane of Innovation, whether it is a device that creates a portal or one that simply shifts one there, is deeply complex. It is usually the most difficult device a tinkerer has made and requires the production of several precurser items before combination into a final invention.Manufacturing
While individual methods vary, all schemes to produce an item that allows travel have these things in common:
- Rarity - for following the rules for crafting, all items that allow travel to the plane of Innovation are rare and require the creation of three components.
- Frame - the basic shape of the item must predominantly be made out of solid materials such as metal, minerals and wood.
- Core - the core of the device gives it the power required to punch through into different planes of existence. It requires the use of materials influenced by theurgy and is usually made out of a precious stone or crystal.
- Direction - The energy from the core must be channeled in the correct way. This requires a component constructed from materials influenced by the planes. This part is usually made from precious metals.
