Very dangerous stuff. Stuff she's not supposed to mess with. Not that Amelia has ever been good at obeying rules. While poking around in one her father's many trophy rooms, Amelia breaks the most important magic rule of all - when you find a mysterious box making strange noises at you, under no circumstances should you open it!
