Well, that was surely a bad situation. She stared at the twinkling ceiling and pouted, that was the place where she didn't spot the giant beast. Damn spiders.
Spiders! Witzy! That was right. In order to use a plush, she just needed to be close to it, not necessarily touch it with her hands. She gasped for air against the tightening trap.
Although the special words for using the doll weren't written anywhere nor they were specific and fixed; they must pledge to the spirit, and cater to it in a way that sounded like the most appropriate for the animal inside.
Once you pronounced the words for the first time, they'd always be the ones that would be needed to use the plush; that's why it was useless to steal a plush from another plush user without knowing what words they had put onto it. The only way of resetting the words was if the owner died.
