It has never done anything wrong. In fact, none of the air in the patch has, even when it has been in other patches. It's so innocent.

Indeed muffins.
And then two people, including someone who looks like a grown-up blue-haired Cenem, come, and there is some brief murmuring before Ehail hands them Cenem and lets them depart with her.

Well, that's a thing that just happened. Sable isn't sure of its significance, but can't figure out how to ask or whether it is her business in any way, and concludes that it probably isn't.
Rithka looks disgruntled, but Mallyn pats her on the head and she looks less disgruntled. Then she tells him to make her beads, and he says she has plenty of beads and anyway he doesn't know how to do it on purpose.
"When I first got kamai, I couldn't, uh, control it," says Mallyn. "...I can now. But I used to accidentally do a lot of things and one of the things was making beads."
"I ran out of the really pretty ones!" says Rithka. "I want to go to work with Daddy again and make things."
"He'll give you stuff to make things with even if I don't make you beads," Mallyn says.

Rithka turns into a sparrow, flies upstairs, and comes down with a necklace of colorful stone beads.

"Those are pretty," Sable agrees. "I wonder if I could make beads. I can use Terraria magic to make a lot of different kinds of things, but I've never done beads in particular."
"How does it work?" asks Rithka, putting her necklace on.

"...Very weirdly and Terrarian-ly. I sort of - sit next to a magic thing that lets me make things, and hold ingredients, and think about the thing I want to make, and then if I did it right the thing appears."
"Whoa, cool," says Rithka. "Can I learn it? I can't learn kamai until I'm like super old and I don't really want to be a wizard but that sounds fun!"
greatestgift
"...You might be able to learn it. I'm not sure. It might only work for people who have been to Terraria, and you probably shouldn't go to Terraria just to do its weird magic."
"Oh. Because of all the monsters?"
Rithka nods solemnly.
Then bounces. "Are you gonna make beads?"

"I think I'll try! Do you know where would be a good place to set up my stuff?"
"The guest room? Or out in the garden if it's a whole lot of stuff."

"I think I'll go out in the garden," she decides.
She goes out in the garden, finds an emptyish spot, and gets out a tiny miniature table that turns into a small but human-scale table and a tiny miniature chair that does likewise.
"Stone beads like those ones, or glass?"

"Ooh, glass ones. In a lot of colors. Little ones! You can sew little beads together and make bead fabric! Daddy's assistant showed me!"

"Well, if making the beads works I can turn them colours afterward," she says. "I'll make plain ones first."
And she gets out a small cube of glass, and holds it, and looks contemplatively at the small table.
Nothing much happens for a bit.

Rithka watches the nothing with great anticipation.

And...
...a very large pile of beads appears on top of the table. They are, very briefly, arranged into a cube whose bottom face takes up about half the table. Then the pile collapses, pouring beads everywhere.
"That is more beads than I expected!" says Sable.

"Wow!" exclaims Rihtka. She fills her pockets as best she can, which doesn't really make a dent in the bead quantity.

"...Do you know if there's... I don't know, a bag? To put these in?" She looks at the mound of beads heaped around the table. "Maybe multiple bags?"
