A sketchbook also protects your illustrations from damage, as magickal art will experience colour fading twice as quickly if brought to life outdoors in inclement weather, or in an underwater location. Any interaction with your artworks when they have left their pages (touch, throw, etc) will also cause them to become slightly smudged.
 
Each time you sketch an illustration you will be able to customize the composition of your work, which will be visible to others when they PROBE your illustration.

By telling the story of your work, your illustration will become real and form a locked door blocking a particular exit that only you or your allies can open.  
Narrating the tale behind your artwork will cause the illustration to leap off the page and become real. A locked door will appear to block a particular exit and can only be opened by you or your allies.  


If no exit exists in the given direction but a path of exactly two steps will bring you exactly in line with this cardinal direction, a doorway will be created that links your room with that one. For example, if regular exits exist that allow you to move east then northwest, you may create a doorway to the north. This type of doorway will fade away much more quickly due to the warping of natural physics that it requires.
