The pocket of an
Elf becomes warm to the touch as her body begins to slow, struggling to respond to her commands. While she can still think and before the confusion sets in too deep, she reaches into her pocket, retrieves the object, and places it on the left side of her chest, feeling the heat of the object sink into her skin. She can feel the jerking of her muscles that had started as she had reached into her pocket slowly begin to subside, the fog in her head clearing as the warmth fades, the object once again soft and furry to the touch. The small furry ball had once again calmed a seizure, something that could have been deadly since she was alone.
The small ball of fur that resides in the pocket of the
Elf is just one instance of a device that has saved many lives since its invention. There are some things that even magic cannot dispel, but in many cases, magic can help ease the effects. Seizures are no different with their somewhat unpredictable nature. Some are dangerous, causing loss of function, while others only cause a loss of focus and confusion. The magic of Isekai does not stop these from occurring, but through tireless research, the deep magic of the world helps to curb the effects and bring safety to those that need it most.
Cerebellum was an interesting discovery, one that was mostly unintentional but its effects were far-reaching. A development of the
Unending Scroll in their search for artificial creations to make a specific cloth, the Cerebellum, along with its siblings, would become one of the most important assistive technologies that exists on the
Northern Continent. These small furry creatures have a variety of uses, but the ones with a muted gold color tend to have amazing effects on those with epilepsy.
Cerebellum were the first of the
Physi to be created, but little is known about how the creature actually works. Even with unknowns, the application of the
Cerebellum is far-reaching and considered an extremely important technological breakthrough.
Utility
Physi with a muted gold color are known for their ability to predict various types of seizures and to mitigate many of the effects of these events. Cerebellum will grow warm to the touch, warmer than if they were just kept in a pocket or close to the body, to alert the user to an oncoming seizure. The creature can then be held to the left side of the chest where their heat will penetrate and slow or end symptoms of a seizure entirely based upon how extreme symptoms may be.
It is unknown why the heat of the creature works the way it does, but the Cerebellum has a long history of either lowering or removing the need for recovery time after a seizure, mitigating extreme symptoms to mild or nonexistent, and otherwise slowing or removing many of the difficult side effects of a seizure.
Manufacturing
While it took some time after the creation of the
Physi to be able to reliably recreate the creatures, the Cerebellum, in particular, can now be massed produced. It is nearly impossible to create them outside of the conditions of the
Unending Scroll, so an entire team is dedicated to the creation of these creatures so that they can be shared across the continent.
I love this, Rynn. I like the twist on real life service animals and how these creatures are a step up from that. Really nice article.

I am not entirely sure why I called you Rynn here, how embarrassing! D:
