The Servant Foundry
Specify a servitor before you make it: one task, a name, a sigil, a way to feed it, a lifespan and a condition that ends it. A servitor is a small made helper with one job. The sheet is the plan; the sigil is its mark.
A servitor with several tasks is badly specified. Write the stop condition first — the workshop calls it the kill condition.
The four parts
Anatomy
One task, a name, a sigil, a way to feed it, a lifespan and a condition that ends it.
Creation
Write the task, set the stop condition (the kill condition), charge the sigil in a focused state, and send it to the task.
Feeding
Attention, a phrase, an offering or a review, on a schedule, logged in the ledger.
Dismissal
At the stop date, recall it, destroy the sigil, close the ledger and leave the space.
Build your own
The foundry is a name generator, the sigil engine and a fixed sheet. Change the syllable table, add a second sigil for the feeding, or make the sheet a printable card. Keep the stop condition visible on whatever you build.
