A {{Name}} is a type of initially [[Artifact|unidentified]] [[:Category:Trade Goods|trade good]]. When unidentified, it appears as a {{Qud text|&wsmall box}}. Unlike most trade goods, its price is not fixed.

There is a 1 in 500 chance for a box of crayons to be “nanocrayons”, whose effect is completely different from ordinary crayons. Drawing with nanocrayons attempts to match the text input against the internal name of an item blueprint, similarly to the default [[Wishes|wish]]. If it finds a blueprint, a popup appears that says “{{Qud text|The picture stretches into the 3rd dimension and becomes real.}}” and the requested object is spawned. This consumes the nanocrayons. (Failing to spawn an object with the nanocrayons does not consume them.)

Certain things can only be obtained by drawing them with {{Qud shader|text={{(}}nanocrayons{{)}}|colors=R-W-G-B-M-C-Y-R-W-G-B|type=sequence}}, including:
* {{favilink|agate severance star}}
* {{favilink|plastic armor}}

** You could also try an {{Favilink|Arsplice Seed}}, which otherwise may be more difficult to obtain than the tonic it's an ingredient for, {{Favilink|Eaters' nectar injector}}.

* Crayons don't stack with each other.{{Code Reference|class=Crayons|method=SameAs}} This means you can't use stacking behavior to narrow down which ones are nanocrayons.

== Trivia ==
* In the source code for the game, there are a variety of general color-related static utility functions stored in the {{name}} <code>Crayons</code> class, which also holds the code specific to the behavior of this item.
