Pardons

Pardons are a type of object that when used can relieve or pardon a prodigy from a punishment. Mentioned in the first book, this object is given to the winner of the school-wide competition of the Ultimate Splotching Championship. It is described to look like a small golden square, and it has an intricate P design engraved into it. Based off Dex, Fitz always wins these prizes, though he never has a need for them. Although on a later case, Sophie won and received a pardon.
