Origin
Naturalized as a Croatian and adopting the name Slavoljub (the equivalent of slavophile), Penkala was a Polish-Dutch inventor. His most famous inventions happen to be the most overlooked conveniences of today and yesterday – the mechanical pencil, fountain pen, hot water bottle, anode battery, bluing detergent and rail brake, among a multitude of other patents.

Effects
User becomes transformed into the object they need most at the moment, especially to handle a minor inconvenience. Fully aware of their surroundings, they will be unable to get the attention of anyone nearby to help. Instead, they will remain as a passive observer of the world through a mundane and sometimes tedious point of view.
