made from a millstone with a widened central hole, grains of gold-dust ground into its grain.
2
a spiral of shingles or tiles like a curled-up pangolin or coiled crocodile.
3
carved from the horn of a truly dire beast.
4
a tiered cone of packed orange earth, its banks held steady by bands of black ironwood.
5
made of shards of fine, pale porcelain glued together by resinous vines.
6
an interlocked hexagon of yellow, red, blue, pink, and tan clay bricks.

This wishing well lies
1
atop a high and rounded hill, emerald-green with its turf.
2
beside an acidic oasis in a desert of ash.
3
some ways up a mountain-side riven by crevasses and ice-cold streams.
4
in the middle of a heather-field ringed by pink-granite boulders.
5
on the protruding fat lip of a lake-facing cliff.
6
in a soft-floored cave behind a waterfall.
D6
This wishing well's water
1
is slightly gelatinous, and smells of saffron.
2
has veins of coppery sheen shivering and incandescing within.
3
is silvery, and pulses as though it's got a heartbeat.
4
is unclearably murky, the dark swirls within suggesting unsettling omens.
5
doesn't ripple smoothly, but rather crinkles into crystalline micro-shapes.
6
is greasy and iridescent.
D6
This wishing well's power is accessed by
1
simply drinking its water.
2
bathing in its water.
3
throwing a coin into its depths.
4
bleeding into it.
5
staring into its surface until your reflection appears, then beating your reflection into a shattering death.
6
beating the right song into its water - a song known only to sages.
D6
This wishing well grants wishes
1
by mutating and brainwashing the wisher into a form that would most closely achieve their wish.
2
via controlling minds - feed others the water of the well, and they will be compelled to fulfill your wish.
3
via the accelerated tectonic shifting of geography -
better hope your wish can be granted like that, or else you're just
gonna cause a lot of earthquakes.
4
with an instantaneous and immense release of energy -
which takes the form of a sinuous purple bolt which rockets up from its
depths - wishes which require subtle or ongoing operations are
ill-matched for it.
5
related to the removal of things and phenomena from the world - the well's water becomes like a perfect acid to these things.
6
relating to people - fulfilling them by creating simulacra of people from its water.
D6
This wishing well's power stems from
1
its contents being distilled from a marid drawn by conjurative magic from the elemental plane of water.
2
the magic seeping from the opalescent bones of an arch-wizard who was drowned in it.
3
its position at a nexus of geomantic energy-flows.
4
a legendary warrior's miraculous feat - drawing the
well up with the thrust of a spear, and thereby proving reality an
illusion before their might.
5
an ancient spring which it draws from, created in a contest between gods.
6
a meteorite that lies at its bottom, the glow of which is translated to wish-power.
