–Mari
The Wishing Well is an object in Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: Two Realms found in the southern-most section of the village. The Wishing Well appears to have magical properties and will often give back up to five times the amount of money tossed in, along with extra Lives, color palettes, stamps, songs, and abilities. Along with using the well to obtain extra coins and other rewards, the Hero can use it to gain access to the Developer's Grove if they deposit the full amount of 10,000 Rapo-Coins. In Drawn to Life: Two Realms, the well is merely a set piece and serves no purpose in the story or in gameplay.
Appearance[edit]
Unlike traditional wishing wells in real life, the Wishing Well in Drawn to Life has no visible water. Instead, it consists of a square half-wall with steps leading up to it on one side. A rotated rectangular monument with a green plant growing on the top rests in the center of the Well.
In Drawn to Life: Two Realms, the Wishing Well takes a more traditional appearance, with a circular, stone exterior and a wooden cover. There is also a Wishing Well in Belleview that has a similar stone base, but has no cover. The Belleview Well is boarded up and has plants growing out of it.
Story[edit]
The Wishing Well is only mentioned once in the story of the Drawn to Life Series, when Mari informs the Hero that she and Jowee used to play near the well. This stopped when the Mayor - her father - got mad at the two of them. This event is seen during the sequence that plays during The End. In Drawn to Life: Two Realms, the well is never mentioned, although Miles hides near the well during the events of the story.
