'''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. |

The Brush is passed on from one user, or Wielder, to another over time. The last Wielder was [[Chicory]], before the Brush was found outside her door by [[Pizza]]. Other known previous Wielders are [[Blackberry]], [[Cardamom]], and [[Rhubarb]], though there are many more. There were also 3 past Wielders named Almond, Carrot, and Parfait. Wielder landmarks include the [[Wielder Temple]] and [[Luncheon|Wielder Tower]]. |

When a Wielder picks a successor, they have to train them before properly passing on the position and the Brush. This includes 5 Wielder Trials. One of them is exploring the aforementioned Wielder Temple. The other 4 are puzzle-solving and drawing a self-portrait on [[Spoons Island]], climbing to the top of [[Dessert Mountain]] and singing the Song of the Wielders, finding brushflowers from the original Brush tree in [[Banquet Rainforest]], and a ceremonial passing-on where the old Wielder formally gives the Brush and the position to their student in [[Brunch Canyon]]. |

A long, long time ago, a [[brushtree| magical tree]] sprouted in the [[Banquet Rainforest]]. The brush was taken from the branches of this tree by the first wielder. |

* Almond, Carrot, and Parfait are only mentioned when Pizza interacts with the portraits in the Wielder Tower. However, they have the same dialogue regardless of which 3 portraits are interacted with, so it is uncertain which ones actually belong to Almond, Carrot, and Parfait. |

Little is known about the wieldership of the first wielder. After their death, the brush passed naturally from person to person. The artifact was highly coveted, and wars broke out over control of the brush. To end the violence, a formal process of succession was established: every wielder would choose an apprentice to whom they would pass the brush. The apprentice would officially become the mew wielder after completing five [[The Wielder Trials|wielder trials]]. |
|||
* Chicory says that even though climbing Dessert Mountain doesn’t really have much to do with being Wielder, it’s symbolic of “ascending” to that status. |
|||
During [[Pizza]]'s wieldership, the corruptions had grown to such strength that Pizza lost control of the brush. Undeterred, they grew a new brushtree through sheer creative will and made their own brush. Seeing this feat, [[Chicory]] also created their own brush. The duo used their new brushes to destroy the original and with it all the corruption it had caused. |
|||
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. |
