a narrow space between two buildings, Map Room 16, Lich #26878, go narrow space

Spellbound

[Spellbound - 26878]
With barely enough room to move around, this cramped space between the two buildings seems more like a trap than anything else. A small pile of crumbled cement has gathered on the floor beneath a brick that protrudes slightly from the wall. Trails of fresh rat droppings lead between a sigil-incised display case and a rune-covered wooden crate.
Obvious exits: south, out
Spell preps!
In crate: Circles 100-400
Behind brick: Circles 500-900
On brick: Circles 1000-1700, and ALL casting
Please READ each paper to see specific restrictions.
The shelf holds a couple very zesty tomes, gem jars of both 50 and 100 count, a Shimmer Trinket that comes with 3 charges, a certificate to increase its maximum charges by 1, and a ticket to add 1 appearance set.  Each charge lasts 1 month, and the trinket can be recharged by monks and recharging merchants.
Items in the case are magical trinkets which automatically recharge daily:
Deathstone Pin: Spirit Strike (117) - 2x/day
Heroic Knight Clasp: Heroism (215) - 1x/day
Green Leaf Symbol: Phoen's Strength (606) - 1x/day
Sickly Green Sigil: Pestilence (716) - 3x/day

a shimmering trinket Weight: <1 pound pin-worn
analyze, show description
Analyze:
The shimmering trinket is a "Shimmer Trinket", which can store the appearance of wearable items and project them over your normal clothing when it's worn. Just wear whatever items you want in whatever order you desire, then ATTEND the trinket. Once worn, it will only display those items while concealing all others. You may also CLEAN it to remove the previously stored appearance. If it is deactivated due to running out of charges, after it is recharged, you may PROD it to turn it back on. TURN will enable/disable how exact of an item must match in your inventory to be used (for items that shift in description). PUSH will rotate between the available appearance sets.
It is not currently active, but is using set 1 (out of 1): nothing special at this time.
The trinket must be periodically recharged by casting Shroud of Deception (1212) at it or by merchants. A charge is depleted when the trinket is set to an appearance and every 30 days thereafter.
You can tell that the trinket is as light as it can get.

Show:
A soft shimmer resonates through the trinket, making it appear to be every color and yet no color at all.
