* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Subverted in a rare case. The Room is not particularly malicious, nor do the things it manifest have any odd or insidious qualities about them. Outside of the fact that [[spoiler:things created by the Room will rapidly age and turn to dust when taken outside]] there doesn't seem to be any real backlash to using the Room or anything it creates.
