About the products.Oil & Rain takes the idea of every day commonplace items, and makes them
more. Dienne has spent over a decade of her life coming up with ideas, drafting them out, making prototypes, trying them out, and making them better. Oil & Rain is Dienne's dream business. This means she can finally scale out her solutions and grow her business every single year.
The products start small: miniature airplanes that are more magical than Muggle; simple toys meant to educate students. Tiny dolls that can move on their own for more than a few hours. A cauldron lid that vanishes noxious fumes but maintains temperature as a potion rests.
As years go on and Dienne gains a steady customer base, her solutions will get more inventive: a limited edition broomstick with an engine instead of bristles; a motorcycle spelled to go under water; a car with full amenities any witch or wizard can live in; flying carpets with heated environmental bubbles to make travel comfortable.
The ideas are unlimited in an inventor's shop, so let Oil & Rain become your regular stop for any custom solution you seek.
About product life.Not all products are meant to last forever! Because Oil & Rain is always outputting new product, as well as concerned about knock-offs and copycats of their product,
every standard Oil & Rain product has a natural life limitation. Some products are purposefully spelled to only work for a limited amount of time; others simply run out their warranty and stop working, by the nature of the complex spells woven into them.
For custom solutions that Dienne herself crafts for dedicated customers, those have longer lives, however Dienne requires the owners come in for regular maintenance appointments so she can tune as needed.
