Shadow Manipulator

The Shadow Manipulator is the tier 2 Magic research station. The Shadow Manipulator unlocks all of the Gemology and Magic Tab recipes. It requires 2 Living Logs, 1 Purple Gem, 7 Nightmare Fuel to craft, and a Prestihatitator to prototype.

Its function is similar to the Science Machine and the Alchemy Engine. Likewise, the player's sanity will increase by 15 if an object is prototyped on a Shadow Manipulator.
