Pressurized Container

A specialized container used to hold gloam, which range between a number of standardized "denominations" indicating their size - cartridges tend to refer to smaller, hand-held containers whereas tanks refer to larger sizes.

The container keeps the gloam in a liquid form, safe from combustion. They're nearly impossible to break, and they're designed to slot into certain artifacts to power them.

While transferring one's gloam balance from one citizen to another does not require a cartridge, gloam containers are the standard method for powering devices inside or outside, ranging from home appliances to weapons. A mage kiosk can be used to obtain a gloam cartridge, with the payment of the total gloam in the cartridge alongside a small fee for the cartridge itself. While there is a reimbursement for turning in a spent cartridge, savvy scavengers will find plenty abandoned in the streets.

-|summary=A gloam cartridge, or often referred to as a 'tank' especially for larger sizes, is simply a pressurized container meant to hold gloam. Cartridges come in a range of standard sizes or "denominations", with markings on the window to estimate how full, or empty if one is a pessimist, a cartridge is.

-Cartridges are not necessary for transferring gloam balance but are needed for devices which need to draw from a source of gloam, i.e. homes, wands, many artifacts, and so forth. Withdrawing gloam from one's balance into a cartridge at a kiosk results in the appropriate deduction to one's balance plus a small fee for the cartridge. Spent cartridges can often be exchanged at a mage kiosk when getting a new one for a discount on fees.
