Crafting Recipe Proposed: (describe your recipe idea as thoroughly as possible. Try to describe how the item works in-RP and less on how it's crafted OOC.)
Call The Stars
Mats Required: 1 Schematic (any map or diagram or blueprint), 1 Crystal Dreams (if schematic not made of Crystal Dreams), 1 Quill Pen, 1 Magic Ink

Originally created for the purpose of maps, this craft is one part enchantment and one part crafted object. In the case of maps, this object allows for said map to have the capacity to record 3 dimensions of information instead of just two. It, following the properties of Crystal Dreams (and by extension Magician's Paper) allows for free scrolling and 3-d projections of the recorded data. The main bonus of this item is that it allows extra data to be recorded and held. In the case of other schematics, it'll just allow for the diagram to be projected. Because it's Magician's Paper, edits are freely possible for the owner. Naturally, this works with Heart Compass and it's recommended to be used with Half-Gaia Map so the entire world's map becomes topographical and you can have all the data. In the case of instances with different map data, all instances will be recorded and can be switched between. It overwrites some of the basic functions of the minimap in order to engage in shenanigans. Also it's an Enchantment, so it naturally doesn't destroy the object it enchants, just augments it. And should be noted as such when crafted. The Schematic is not consumed. Use maps. If it's anything but a map, you're wasting some money. The schematic needs to be made of Crystal Dreams so.
Explanation:
Uuuuuuuuh basically this is what Scoria's been building up to. His intent is to combine the Half-Gaia map, which only has 2-d information, with this item in order to have 3-d information that can be viewed and displayed. He's kind of been working on this since the start, which was the purpose of all these intermediately shenanigans. Naturally if the schematic is made of Crystal Dreams, there's no need to add in a new component. You unwind the schematic and shenanigans the object in if it doesn't exist already. Note the final product is pricy. Here's the best explanation I can give atm:
Magician's Paper allows for a dynamic surface. You can scroll, you can move things, you can shuffle data around, you can store content 'off the pane'.
Half-Gaia Map combines all other map data into one cohesive map, creating a full 2-d spread of all the maps you currently have. It uses Magician's Paper's functionality in order to scroll, zoom, and wobble through information.
Crystal Dreams is an upgrade to Magician's Paper that allows for the projection of 3-d things and such, holograms and the like. It's basically what's powering the capacity for any projections at all and making the idea of having data for 3-d objects feasible.
Heart's Compass is tracking people on a map.
Call The Stars allows a map (or other schematic) to actively contain 3-d data, which naturally makes it easier to display 3-d data. What're you going to display if you don't have anything. Naturally, it displays walls, floors, whatever, but with just as much detail as you'd expect from a normal map. Only with a z-axis parameter.
And then you combine it all together for a cohesive map that you can scroll through and track (consenting) people on that works in three dimensions. Yaaaay. Jokingly referred to as a 'full gaia map' by Scoria.
As always, ask any questions you might have~ Weeeeee.
