Chlorophyll (2015)

> x fuse (@ Dragonweed Nest)

A cylindrical fuse almost as long as you are. It's got scummy patches of lakeweed on it, but it should still work. It's self-installing, so all you need to do is get it near where it needs to go.
Lydia's Heart (2007)

[if unidentified] The small round threaded object [else] The new fuse [end if] looks a lot like the base of a lightbulb without the bulb. Where the bulb should be is a flat circle of glass.

> x burnt fuse (@ Closet)

The fuse is threaded, like the base of a lightbulb without the bulb. The flat glass circle on the top of the fuse is dark, as if something inside has burned.
