Expurgefactor

An intricate, Rube Goldberg apparatus used to awaken individuals from Sleep magic induced comas. The device operates through a highly calculated and delicately configured sequence of components.

Conceived by the Countess Dormiveglia Goldburg, the expergefactor is a relic of the Sleep Race. One expergefactor is commonly known to be preserved as a display piece, in the Library of the University of Dysania. Drawings of that expergefactor detail:

• An ornate wooden crank.
• A single ruby slipper.
• A steaming genie's lamp heated like a kettle.
• An ostrich egg.
• A toad wearing a Wizard hat, implying polymorphism.
• A glowing crystal shard.
• A long, enchanted Pegasus feather used to tickle the sleeper's foot, nose, or bottom.

The intensity of its effect is measured in negative Eases.
