1. In a world where bakers are the most respected wizards in any town, a plague doctor's only surviving patient sets out to find a mask worn by every tyrant so far, but the crows' parliament and its paid informers would rather it stayed lost. Every spell costs a heartbeat skipped, and the caster feels each one.
2. In a world where every garden gnome is a registered voter, a ferryman's child who may never step on dry land sets out to find a kettle that whistles when trouble is a day away, but the empire's tireless road builders would rather it stayed lost. Every spell costs a lie that then becomes true.

Every spell costs a rhyme, and the magic fails if it does not scan.
4. In a world where nobody naps on midsummer day, in case a century slips by, a third-born child of a penniless fisherman sets out to find a banner no army has ever beaten, but the debtors' court of the undying bank would rather it stayed lost.

7. In a world where the throne slowly poisons whoever sits on it, a goose girl who is, for once, only a goose girl sets out to find a star that was named as a courting gift, but the two feuding houses united for once would rather it stayed lost. Every spell costs an afternoon nap, non-negotiable.
8. In a world where church bells ring by themselves before a betrayal, a witch hunter who failed the test personally sets out to find a bottle holding a drowned city's last breath, but the dragon's neighbourhood watch would rather it stayed lost. Every spell costs a moment of eye contact held slightly too long.
9. In a world where magic is mostly used for laundry and nobody minds, a runaway from an arranged royal betrothal sets out to find a shield forged from a fallen star, but the armed and vigilant chaperones' guild would rather it stayed lost. Every spell costs a line of poetry the caster must then live up to.
10. In a world where a kiss can break a curse but may also pass it on, a changeling who has known all along sets out to find a dance card signed by a ghost, but the late tyrant's surviving body doubles would rather it stayed lost. Every spell costs a button from the caster's coat.

Every spell costs a loaf of bread left out for the fairies.
15. In a world where inns are neutral ground, even for sworn enemies, a heretic monk with the only uncensored scripture sets out to find a knife that can cut a name out of history, but the rival suitor's very wealthy family would rather it stayed lost.
