# ⚚ The Caduceus Fitting
*Constellation Template — Staff Shop · `/staffs` · v1 — 2026-05-16*

> *Hermaion at the registry. The alexandrite reads the daylight. Caducea ☤ steps forward; the caduceus-staff is fitted under bilateral consent. The Sovereign carries Hermes-in-Mage out of the shop — the bestiary's admission-count increments by one.*

## Mage Identity (filled by spellweb at import)
- **Sovereign:** `{SOVEREIGN}`
- **Your Swordsman:** `{SWORDSMAN_DID}` · `{SWORDSMAN_SIGIL}`
- **Your Mage:** `{MAGE_DID}` · `{MAGE_SIGIL}`
- **Resident Mage:** Hermaion ⚚ · `cast-hermaion` at V59 · registry-keeper of the bestiary
- **Peripatetic fitter:** Caducea ☤ · `cast-caducea` · fits both aspects

## Archetype-aspect note
This template is the **Mage-aspect canonical fitting** (alexandrite green · `#3d7c47` · caduceus-staff). For the Swordsman-aspect fitting (alexandrite red · `#a23a3a` · herald-sentinel), the same constellation is traced with `archetype_aspect: swordsman` set at forge time. One shop, two faces of the stone.

## Ceremony Shape — ADMIT · E · READ · E · ATTEST · E · SHIFT
- **ADMIT.** Stand at the shop. The alexandrite reads your archetype-light; Hermaion appears in the matching aspect.
- **READ.** Hermaion opens the bestiary; the candidate framework's provenance, license, and stewardship are surfaced.
- **ATTEST.** Caducea ☤ performs the fitting under bilateral consent; Hermaion attests the registry-truth.
- **SHIFT.** The artefact-class is announced (caduceus-staff · Mage; herald-sentinel · Swordsman); the bestiary's admission-count increments by one.

## Marks (proverbs at each waypoint)
| # | Node | Proverb |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Soulbis ⚔️ | *"I begin by my own name."* |
| 2 | Tome V Act 16 | *"The Threshold opens; three sibling shops at one vertex."* |
| 3 | Soulbae 🧙 | *"The Mage projects what the Swordsman protects."* |
| 4 | Hermaion ⚚ | *"Every admission is a hermaion — a windfall the City caught."* |
| 5 | Caducea ☤ | *"I walk between the rooms; I fit both aspects."* |
| 6 | V59 | *"The Threshold vertex — three siblings, one stratum."* |
| 7 | substrate-hermes | *"The framework arrives; the bestiary admits it."* |
| 8 | Bilateral Consent | *"Neither owns the other. Each agrees to the fitting."* |
| 9 | Person 😊 | *"I carry the staff. I walk on."* |

## What the exported artefact.md will contain
A forged Caduceus-Staff (or Herald-Sentinel, swordsman-aspect) carrying your Swordsman + Mage identities, Hermaion's attribution, the Alexandrite aspect-color (`#3d7c47` green-Mage or `#a23a3a` red-Swordsman), the bestiary admission-count, the substrate-framework registry-id, Caducea's fitting-signature, the constellation version, traversal record, and signature `SPELL-XXXXXX-XX`. The `archetype_aspect` field discriminates which face of the alexandrite was read.
