'''The brush''' is a magical tool and the primary gameplay mechanic of [[Chicory: A Colorful Tale]]. It has the ability to paint color into the usually colorless world of Picnic Province, and interact with certain objects and plant life.▼

The brush grants the wielder the ability to shape and colour reality. However, this power has a sinister consequence. Just as the brush manifests creative desires, negative emotions would also be made real, taking the form of corruptions. Wielders were tasked with managing these corruptions. A wielder who failed to regulate their emotions could plunge the whole world into darkness.▼

Line 14 ⟶ 16:
The destruction of the brush marked the end of the wielder tradition. Having created their own brushes, Pizza and Chicory vowed to teach others how to do the same, making color free for everyone.
== Gameplay ==
The Brush can be used to color the environment and characters. Many characters and environmental objects will react to being colored, and some characters will react to the way Pizza colors their house. All areas are limited to a palette of 4 available colors at a time.
In the [[Potluck]] [[Art Academy]], Pizza is introduced to [[Brush Styles]], which change the shape of the Brush’s strokes. These can be found in large gifts around Picnic. Additionally, [[Potato]] in [[Sips River]] can create Pizza a custom one, and [[Dr. Cheese]] in [[Brekkie]] can create a Brush Style that lets them paint with any color they like.
Additionally, after most boss fights, Pizza’s bond with the Brush will strengthen, granting them a new ability. These abilities are named in the inventory menu:
* Glow, obtained after the [[The Dark Forest|Chapter 1]] boss, makes the Brush’s paint glow in dark areas.
* Swim, obtained after the [[A Wielder's Duty|Chapter 2]] boss, allows Pizza to swim in their paint to get through small cracks, low openings, or to simply traverse faster in their paint.
* Leap, obtained after the [[Portraits of Chicory|Chapter 3]] boss, allows Pizza to jump across gaps and off of ledges.
* Climb, obtained after the [[Into the Depths|Chapter 4]] boss, is an expansion of Swim, which allows Pizza to swim up painted walls.
* Tenacity, obtained after the [[The Source|Chapter 5]] boss, is another expansion of Swim, allowing Pizza to swim in painted water.
* Master, obtained after completing [[The Brush (chapter)|Chapter 10]], enhances Swim, Climb, and Tenacity, by increasing Pizza’s swimming speed, and allowing them to swim up waterfalls.

== Trivia ==
* According to [[Greg Lobanov]], had the corruption not been stopped, he imagines a large pit would’ve opened beneath the Wielder Tower and begun expanding, everything eventually falling into it.
** He assigns this statement “50% [canonicity]”, meaning it could be true, but just as easily could not be.
