A location or shadow can yield any of the following tributes to its controller, once or twice over:
commerce;
defense;
exotica;
magic;
manpower;
might;
transportation;
wealth.

A location will generally have 3 tributes plus any extras from advances, moves, and schemes. A full shadow will have 3 tributes plus extras. Any one location can be additive with its shadow, if the location is involved in yielding the tribute; no such tribute can count more than twice over. If the shadow's location and contents are as you desire, you choose the tributes as you introduce the shadow; otherwise, the MC chooses.

An object, a location, or a shadow of desire can generally be what you want, how you want it. If you exert yourself, an object or a fortuitous event can be when and where you want it. Why you want it is your own business. Who you want is not attainable by any power of desire.

Here are moves an object can make if it is capable of acting on its own.

An object with uses(end) can endure hardship or duress., if there is hardship or duress to be endured. It can endure the hardship or duress without being harmed, or it can take the way through and take 1 appropriate level of harm. An object with uses (end end) can, additionally, impose -1 forward on the next move a PC makes, if that move continues to inflict the hardship or duress just endured.

An object with uses(for) can trust to its luck. It can gain a short respite for itself, or it can can find a way in or out or past or through that it might exploit, or it can come up with a likely object with 1 advantageous feature. An object with uses(for for) can choose 2 of these options rather than merely 1. An object can make this move up to twice per scene or conflict.

An object with uses(pow) can work against a PC's efforts by using its power, if it is able to bring an appropriate power to bear. If the PC makes a move opposed by this one, he takes -1 to the roll. An object with uses(pow pow) makes a PC take -2 instead of -1. An object can make this move up to twice per scene or conflict.

An object with uses(pre) may seduce or otherwise manipulate. The object declares what it wants the PC to do, and chooses whether: the PC checks experience for doing it; or the PC is discomfited for not doing it. An object with uses(pre pre) can impose both conditions. An object can make this move up to twice per scene or conflict.

An object with uses(psy) may engage in a psychic struggle, if the object has opportunity to do so. This forces the PC to oppose it by engaging in a psychic struggle, or else conceding the struggle. An object with uses(psy psy) additionally imposes -1 to the PC's roll.

An object with uses (sta) may oppose a PC's attempt to outperform it physically. If the PC attempts to outperform it physically, the PC takes -1 to the roll. An object with uses (sta sta) makes a PC take -2 instead of -1. An object can make this move up to twice per scene or conflict.

An object with uses(str) may engage in a physical struggle, if the object can act thusly and if the opponent is within the object's reach. This forces the PC to oppose it by engaging in a physical struggle, or else conceding the struggle. An object with uses(str str) additionally imposes -1 to the PC's roll.

An object with uses(war) may maneuver for advantage. It can gain a short respite for itself, or it can negate one of the PC's advantages, or it cancel all of 1 type of a PC's hold. An object with uses(war war) can choose 2 of these options rather than merely 1. An object can make this move up to twice per scene or conflict.

If a rating is desired from an object or a location or a shadow, pick an appropriate type of use or tribute. If the thing has no such uses or tributes, the rating is -1. If the thing has one, the rating is 1. If the thing has two, the rating is 2.
