Mess (Mobile Phone)
With a splutter of neon pixels the vid file comes to life. The form of a woman of unbelievable beauty takes shape from the cloud of colour, skin as pale as snow, hair dark as night and eyes of iridescent blue. She stands in a minimalist, glossy white room as snow appears to gently fall behind her. As she gestures towards a small, metallic device sat atop a pedestal, her sultry yet sophisticated voice fills your ears...
Female Presenter: With all the latest innovations in D.E.N integrated technomancy, the Sliverdrake Astral 4 stands at the cutting edge of Portable Messenger devices. Record-breaking onboard memory, capable of Messaging any Mess, any provider, within 30 miles and now for the first time ever capable of Messaging any Silverdrake device on either side of the D.E.N.
Male VO: hushed 30 mile limitations still apply.
The camera cuts to a revolving close up of the device. A screen smoothly comes alive, Ether-runes briefly flicker in a pale turquoise glow before an animated silver dragon's head coils into view and unleashes a roar. The dragon vanishes, replaced by a simple, ice blue themes UI which in turn vanishes out of view as the Mess rotates.
On the rear of the device, a small sapphire in encrusted in the centre of a highly reflective silver backplate. The gemstone suddenly flashes with light as a circle of Ether-runes appears but for a moment in the air just above the plate. The female voice continues...
Female Presenter: Also introducing our brand new image capturing gems utilising only the most crystalised of Etherium-locked enchantments to hold high-resolution images for upwards of an hour.
The camera cuts again, to an ad screen featuring the device, various Ether-runes leading to D.E.N stores and a veritible wall of small print
Female Presenter VO: So become a part of tomorrow today with the brand new Silverdrake Astral 4 available from Silverdrake stores on both sides of the D.E.N.
The male voiceover begins to run through the wall of small print as the vid file begins to stutter to a stop

Utility
Long distance typed and verbal communication. Recent models have the capability to capture and store images for a short period of time.
Manufacturing
Complexly layered macro-enchantments of the Message and Minor Illusion on an Etherium bed. The work is difficult and requires a certain understanding of high-level ethermancical theory.
Access & Availability
Commonly available to the people of Ekklisia as much as smartphones are on Earth
Complexity
Relatively complex. The Mess is heavily reliant on both Etherium and D.E.N technologies. The former facilitating the density of enchantments within such a small device and the latter granting the enchantments the range required for optimal use.
Discovery
Developed by Silverdrake Incorporated during the final years of the Ethereal Retreat.
