Most of the toys are simple (few cost more than a single silver piece), though the toymakers also cater to wealthier patrons, making ceramic-faced dolls and convoled wooden rocking horses.  Kessi has enchanted dolls with magic mouth to speak limited phrases, and uses other spells to enhance toys for their noble clients.Kessi has also been interested in creating a doll that is essentially a golem - able to intelligently interact with it's child charge, and even protect a child in danger.  Unfortunately, the early versions of these dolls are too protective - they react too swiftly to a child's emotional responses, and get violent as a response.  This has resulted in several maimed family members who provoked a child's tears often with a simple refusal.</blockquote>
