The Reckoner's scales are a set of balancing scales fitted with weights, used by [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Alv|The Reckoner]] to perform long-distance healing. The instrument functions on a principle of mechanical equilibrium: the Reckoner loads the scales with weights until the arms tilt and reach a point of balance, and the mending of the patient's wounds follows as a direct consequence of that equilibrium being achieved. The transaction is described as precise and carries no tips - ch 7.

The scales establish that the Reckoner's healing operates through a structured, rule-bound mechanism rather than an act of spontaneous will. In a series in which supernatural services are commodified and mediated through institutional or contractual frameworks, the Reckoner's insistence on mechanical balance and the explicit absence of gratuities positions his practice as a calibrated exchange rather than a charitable or mystical gift.

The scales appear in a single narrative scene in [[The Tyrant Philosophers/Days of Shattered Faith|Days of Shattered Faith]], during which the Reckoner knits wounds at a distance. No further uses, history, or fate of the instrument are recorded within the available text.
