|Description = Pass the blade of the knife across your palm. Let the blood fall into the lacre. Something will arise: though it will not survive the winter.
|Game Instructions = You will keep the Knife, but none of the other ingredients. This will also slightly reduce your quirks. Whatever you gain will last an unpredictable interval - a few weeks at most. Creating a Noman will [[The Noman/Noman Cost| become rapidly more expensive]] as January wears on. <!--
The first condition checks if it's outside January or before the 5th, in which case it pretends it's January 5th to communicate opening conditions.  Taste of Lacre and Deep Amber cost changes at 9am UTC, so this statement then (1)checks whether it's before 9am UTC, if so (2) treats it as yesterday, otherwise (3)treats it like today -->

''Wiki Note: {{#ifexpr: {{#var:day}} = 5 | The current numbers correspond to January 5th.}} Once the Noman is available, the requirements increase for Taste of Lacre by ~0.8 per day (up to a maximum of 15) and Deep Amber by 312.5 per day. When the Deep Amber requirement (or loss) would exceed 6250, it is instead replaced by 1 x Nodule of Pulsating Amber.''
|Success title = A newborn
|Success description = […] But second by second, it looks more and more like you. When it looks up and smiles, its face is your own, albeit snow-coloured and fragile. "I'm me," it says in delight. "I'm me!" It reaches out to touch your face.
|Success summary = When it first clambers out of the lacre it is pale and barely-formed, with shadowed pits for eyes.}}
