Eringyas' Surprising Bouquet


What's it called?
Eringyas’ Surprising Bouquet (in short, ESB)

What does it do?
Erm... Well, it creates a nice bunch of flowers. There's quite a variety which needs be listed (I'll do some work on that field one of these days), among which are heliotropes and Baby's breath. No fancy roses, tulips or orchids, though...
As to its uses, aside from taskmastering skills at very low levels, they fall on the realm of the aesthetic. Which lady would refuse a nice bouquet of flowers, even is octarinely scented?
A not too distant tweak changed them a bit (maybe gave them odours?), but that remains to be checked too...

Where is it?
Being a toy-spell, you shall find it at all the Wizard Guild Gyms, inside the Begynners' Magick tomes therein.

What does it require?
no components whatsoever.

What skills do I need?
Channeling, Evoking, Charming

Has it worked?
A correct output should be something like this:

You prepare to cast Eringyas' Surprising Bouquet.
You carefully open a rift into the flower dimension by staring hard into space.
You conjure up the image of the flower you want in your mind and sketch it out in the space in front of you.
You wave your arms wildly, attracting the attention of the bunch of flowers you wish to bring back.
You quickly reach into the flower dimension and drag a bunch of flowers screaming into this plane.

Eringyas' Surprising Bouquet is a miscellaneous type spell that conjures a nice bunch of flowers into being.


Notes:

So... flowers I've got from the spell... All 'look quite fresh', and the bouquets 'shimmer in octarine'.

-anemones:
Despite the name, these are not squidgy sea creatures, but brightly coloured, daisy-like flowers with thick petals and a jaunty air.

-sense and sensibilities:
Made of soft and fuzzy pussywillow catkins, this bouquet not only looks cute, but feels cute also. Gufnorkians would be very appreciative of its fluffiness.

-moonflowers:
These flowers aren't white as one would expect, but pure black. They are often sent as good luck tokens to those whose work takes them abroad by night, and who enjoy the cover of darkness.

-oleanders:
Cheerful pinwheel shaped blooms of pure white adorning a thin branch are collected here. The flowers give off a lovely fragrance somehow reminiscent of one's own mortality. This bouquet would be perfect for sending to an assassin admired from afar.

-bleeding hearts:
Graceful thin stalks bearing heart shaped white flowers with red petals dripping downward say either "I love you", or "Thanks for fulfulling the contract on my heart."

-rain-daisies:
Called rain-daisies because the petals have a glistening, bedewed appearance, these blue-white flowers with thin petals radiating from a cheerful yellow centre are as refreshing as a gentle spring rain.

-heliotropes:
On first look this bouquet seems to be made of one large flower, but closer examination reveals large flat clusters made up of hundreds of tiny, intensely purple, flowers. The whole gives off a heavenly chocolate-vanilla scent.

-fuchsias:
Brilliant red and purple flowers with a suspicious resemblance to a lady's bloomers dangle appealingly in this bouquet. Perfect for an evening out, or sending to your favourite assassin, these flowers will complement any look.

-matthiola stocks:
Sturdy stalks covered completely with pyramids of red, spice-scented flowers make up this bouquet, providing a treat for the nose as well as the eyes.

-bachelor's buttons:
Cheerful, thistle-like tufts in bright blues and pinks combine for a happy-go-lucky effect. These flowers have been used to discreetly signal that the wearer is single.

-bat-flowers:
These enormous flowers are midnight black, and their outline eerily resembles a bat in flight with wings spread, trailing wisps of dark smoke. There are even little indentations which look like eyes. Be careful with this bouquet, it's watching you.

-baby's breath:
Tiny, pure white flowers tremble on fragile stalks, giving this bouquet a lovely, airy look.

Smelling them gives a small series of feedbacks ('You smell the bunch of xxx's. Wonderful! / Delightful! / Lovely! / Mmm! / Aaachoo!).

Kari also kindly informs me that the flowers can be 'braided' into you hair (nice looking and scenting you buckles!), and that they wither after some time.
