Bringing me to a point I've ruminated on for a while. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only moved. This also applies to matter. So artifacts that create matter, i.e. wishing artifacts and summoning artifacts, must get their matter from somewhere.

My throry is that A) The item in question is summoned from a ranom spot on earth or B) Matter from space is taken and re-configured into a different form. It we assume A) is true, then there is almost constantly places on earth that are losing matter. Take Sedna's Seashell. It summon's seawater and foam. That must be originating from somewhere.This link can be seen with the Amazon Fish Tank where the source of water has been identified and contained by the Warehouse.

If we assume B) is true, then cover-up becomes a non-issue, but it does bring up the question of how the transmutation works, potentially openeing up another layer of power to such artifacts. Of course, it's possible that a combination of A) and B) are true, depending on the artifact.
