Arcane Device 01 by Novaminis

Somewhere between a wizard's orrery and a planar navigation instrument, this gyroscopic arcane device hums with the suggestion of forgotten mathematics and pocket-dimension cartography.

• ✔ Resin terrain piece, printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted — primes and paints easily
• ✔ Compatible with standard 28mm–32mm miniature scales
• ✔ Works on the gaming table and as part of a display diorama

The Arcane Device 01 from Novaminis is a beautifully sculpted prop piece — a concentric gyroscopic ring apparatus mounted on a riveted circular base. Three interlocking rings of varying width rotate around a central axis, with the innermost ring carrying intricate scrollwork and arcane sigil engravings along its full interior face. Mechanical bracket fixings connect the outer rings at their poles, lending the piece a tangible sense of clockwork precision. Whether this is a wizard's planar compass, a conjuration focus, or some half-understood relic pulled from a ruined observatory, your table gets to decide.

The sculpt rewards a thoughtful paint job — a patinated copper or verdigris bronze finish would make those engraved runes sing, while a cold iron or aged silver scheme would suit a more celestial or arcane mechanical setting. It's equally at home as a desk prop in a scholar's tower or an ominous centrepiece in a villain's sanctum.

Variant note: This is the 01 variant of the Arcane Device range — a gyroscopic orrery design. Other variants in the series offer different arcane instrument forms, so adventurers can build out a complete arcanist's workshop or laboratory.

Bring this piece to your table if you want to:

• Add environmental depth to a wizard's tower, artificer's workshop, or arcane laboratory set
• Use it as a quest item, mysterious relic, or interactive prop during a session
• Create a display diorama centred on magical scholarship or planar exploration
• Give your Steampunk or arcane technology encounters a tangible physical presence

Encounter Hook

The party discovers the device spinning slowly in the centre of an abandoned astrologer's tower — each of its three rings aligned to a different plane of existence. As the Wizard reaches out to touch the innermost ring, the engraved sigils begin to glow, and the device locks onto a new planar configuration. Something, somewhere, has noticed.
