At exactly seven forty-six in the morning every day, Cusicesh rises from the waters of the bay, sending out an illusory wake. This happens without fail such that the locals could set timepieces by its occurrence. It takes the form of an incredibly tall column-shaped jet of water, with four long arms that extend downward from the column and form fingers and thumbs. The arms always form in the same places, and the people in the city have placed large golden pedestals where the "hands" come to rest. It is a translucent sea-blue color, ranging from deep blue in the center to a lighter, blue on the surface. It forms a face on a stumplike neck that always looks east toward the [[Origin]]; the face shifts very rapidly into different human faces, both male and female. The faces continue to cycle for ten minutes, and Cusicesh then retreats into the water, leaving another illusory wake.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} ▼

He was fascinated by the spren and was not able to categorize it with any others that he had encountered in his travels. He took notes on several of its unique qualities.{{book ref|sa1|i|5}}
