A painting created by a magic painting controller The magic painting controller represented a piece of technology invented by the stage magician Wim Magwit for the purpose of decorating interiors. This compact, black, dome-shaped controller could be affixed to walls and, through unknown means, generated actual, framed paintings on the wall space underneath it. The subjects of these paintings would change at unpredictable times.
The magic painting controller was a promotional item given as a gift to all players who logged into the game during the period between the launch of Chapter 6 and Chapter 7. Players are able to place the painting controller on a wall inside their in-game house, where it will then exhibit one of a selection of various paintings. The act of gathering paintings, which can be obtained through quests, crafting activities, and other methods, is a well-liked activity among the player base of Star Wars Galaxies.
